Book Review - The Bodhisattva Warriors

The Bodhisattva Warriors: The Origin, Inner Philosophy, History and Symbolism of the Buddhist Martial Art Within India and ChinaThe Bodhisattva Warriors: The Origin, Inner Philosophy, History and Symbolism of the Buddhist Martial Art Within India and China

This unique study of the genesis and development of the earliest form of Buddhist self-defense practiced by Chuan Fa monks and mystics shows both the philosophical and physical basis of the skills developed and passed on to subsequent generations.

There are many who mistakenly believe Buddhism to be a predominately philosophical teaching that regards physical and spiritual being as incompatible, or even antagonistic, toward each other.  This book seeks to reunite these concepts.

The material is presented so readers can understand that what we think of as competitive sport is really a meditation mandala in action.
