  • that is one great storyy. like the masters says the art of combat, the best martial art is the art of not fighting at all

  • @murphy13295

    It truly is an art, to be able to resolve a conflict with words, wit and above all, warmness of heart.

  • Such a beautiful story. If only more people in the world could think like the old man. =]

  • @sridharma108 what does it say?????

    kill before you get killed.

  • @99XM

    Chapter 51, starting at verse 14, In: "The Gospel of the Buddha" by Paul Carus, covers this paradox of fight / pacifism methodically and comprehensively.

    It can be found free online, just search Google.

  • THATS WRONG.

    WE TALK AND TRY TO SHOW THE TRUTH,

    IF THEY DONT WANT TO ACCEPT AND WANT TO DOMINATE OTHERS, THERE ARNT HARMONY WITH WORDS, ONLY SOME PUCHES, THATS A VERY GOOD MEDICINE.

  • where's that voice coming from?? nooooooooooo get awayyy from meeeee

  • Ignoring 'Ram Dass' anti uSa (dawn) programming during the story..,a very telling story.

    The thing that the uSa once was...subverted by a fallen priesthood who birthed the very 'philosophy' Ram Dass diverts to.

  • I just woke up looking for some motivations in life and this brought me to tears....

  • I am not going to deny that this is a very beautiful story, But I llive in NYC and travel mass transit and if you think this method would work forget it. One would have to use the other method to protect others, NYC is a tuff city.. One evening on my block at 9:00pm and was mugged. The young adult dragged me through the street untill this rage came over me and I lifed my cane and said I am now going to kill you. The youngster ran away as fast as he could. IN THIS CAS I WAS THE HERO.

  • @fracturedfist

    for this you have to study outside the dojo!

  • @trumblewumblehumble

    it´s good for fitness and spirit :-)
