Paperback. Condizione: Good. MARTIAL ARTS The attainment of superior fighting technique is not the sole purpose of martial arts training. Just as a Zen Buddhist monk uses movement as a form of meditation, the refined martial artist uses the physical techniques of the practice to harmoniously merge individual energy with that of the universe. The stages of training required to realize this objective are arduous but necessary for an individual to become an enlightened being rather than simply an accomplished fighter. The Warrior Is Silent explains the spiritual foundation of martial arts practice in the East and its intimate connection with the perfection of the art itself. The author, a highly honored martial artist, takes the reader through a well-illustrated series of self-defense techniques that utilize ki energy to maintain one's center under any circumstance. More than seventy step-by-step photographs demonstrate exercises from breath control to physical deflection of an opponent. Mahayana Buddhism meditation techniques teach psychological control and action within no-action--vital for the spiritual warrior. The Warrior Is Silent will deepen the skills of experienced martial artists and provide a well-grounded introduction to the martial arts for beginners. This is an essential guide for anyone interested in a spiritually rewarding martial arts practice.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The medieval Samurai of Japan have long been depicted as the consummate warriors of Asia. While the physical training the Samurai underwent was intense and exacting, much of their skill was based on their mental refinement as well as their physical prowess. At the forefront of integrating spiritual understanding into the martial arts, Scott Shaw draws upon his years of study of Buddhist culture to show you how to acquire higher awareness through the art of Zen and Iaido, or the meditative art of the sword. Scott Shaw begins by teaching you how to control and refine your physical senses, while quieting your mind and your emotions as well as your reactions to other people's energies. Next, with clear instruction and photographs, he guides you through both standing and seated forms of Iaido. He also includes powerful breathing exercises for centering yourself and directing energy. This book has special interest for students of Iaido, but it also contains a wealth of information and practical exercises for anyone who is sincerely interested in Zen Buddhism and the martial arts as a path to freedom or Satori.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. These are Zen meditations for modern times cold comfort, maybe, for some of us who might want platitudes and the promise of peacefulness being handed to us on a silver platter. Because, as Shaw points out, conflict is a part of life. Zen Buddhism was even founded in conflict. No one can give anyone else peace. Peace comes to those who seek it in the moment and for the moment only. The pace of lives continues to accelerate, though, with more and more demands being placed on us by both others and ourselves. This collection, aimed at gaining inner peace, is wonderfully suited to the breakneck pace of our lives today. The future is too full of work, laundry, family, and other commitments not to mention the unknown. The past is gone. There's no time like the present to make like the eye of the hurricane and choose to be at peace with ourselves. The 108 meditations in this book offer a very contemporary respite from internal and external conflict. Their number and their form, however, is steeped in tradition. Onehundredandeight is a sacred number in Buddhism, where there is also the tradition of meditating with malas strung beads, which come in multiples of nine 27, 56, or 108. Their form follows Buddhist tradition as well they're modern koans, or riddles to ponder, and dharma stories.…
