A raucous, irreverent look into the Buddhist and Martial Arts
worlds Can we be martial arts practitioners and Buddhists at the
same time? Can these practices actually complement each other, in
mindfulness? How do we reconcile Buddhist concepts like
non-violence with a fighting practice like judo, karate or jiu
jitsu? Long-standing martial arts instructor and meditator Jeff
Eisenberg addresses these and other questions in his own inimitable
style, employing autobiographical anecdotes, along with martial
arts fighting strategies, koan and sutra teachings, and Buddhist
folk stories. Fighting Buddha outlines why the true test of a
martial artist's skill and of a Buddhist's application of
mindfulness is during a situation that is the least conducive for
it-usually not inside the Dojo or Zendo. Challenging the belief
that fighting martial arts styles are not conducive to a meditative
practice, the book discusses the difference between violence and
the use of force as it relates to the Buddha's teaching of "cause
no harm", exploring the common misunderstanding that meditative
moments are exclusive to only select activities. Further topics are
the struggles of beginning training and practice, the importance of
identifying goals, choosing a teacher and training in support of
these goals. And, far from being the often-perceived ending, Jeff
concludes that enlightenment and the black belt are really only a
beginning.
