Description
When Buddhists Attack: The Curious Relationship Between Zen and the Martial Arts explores the historical connection between Buddhism and the Japanese martial arts. University professor and martial arts practitioner Jeffrey Mann examines how Buddhist philosophy, particularly zazen, mushin, zanshin, and fudoshin, has influenced the practice of budo.
This book delves into the ethics and practice of budo as a modern sport, revealing how qualities integral to the true martial artist are interwoven with ancient religious philosophy. Mann sheds light on the often-overlooked link between a philosophy of non-violence and the art of fighting.
