Publisher's Synopsis
A look at zen and how it has been used for the training of sages and samurai. Correlations between Taoist teachings and the Force (& Jedi) are also covered showing that George Lucas borrowed liberally from eastern philosophies. Analysis of several chapters from the Tao Te Ching show that it is indeed the world's oldest zen poem and that it provided advice for warriors. A commentary on Bodhidharma's "The Transmission Of The Lamp" with his 'Method Of Entering The Tao' is also covered as he is considered to be both the father of Eastern Zen AND Martial Arts. All in all this book provides you with an overview of how Zen was, and still is, being used in all aspects of life from sage to warrior as it's just a method.
