Virtues of a Great Warrior- Book Description
Virtues of a Great Warrior was written after a proverb from the world of martial arts: "At the beginning of his path, the warrior trains to know how to fight. At the end, he trains to know how to avoid fighting."
It tells the story of a young warrior who is looking for guidance in the art of the sword. The meeting with a great master reveals to him the real teachings behind the art, his life purpose, and also something greater… The practice of martial arts brings great control over the body, and balance and mastery over the senses, but if it's not coupled with mind training and correct intention it can become dangerous and destructive. The practitioner must not only learn the techniques externally, but he must also learn to direct the great force he has gained towards benefitting others and the Greater Good. Otherwise, no matter how skillful he becomes at his performance, he will always create more harm than good. If he selfishly uses the practice solely for his own benefit, sooner or later he will lose his inner balance and the Right Way. But if he practices with the correct motivation, he will become a peace-bringer who can bring peace to himself and to his opponent. He will know how to transform all aggressions into harmony.
