Re: Martial Arts and Buddhism - Is it acceptable?
@how said:
What...are we all 7 years of age?I find it mystifying at how adept Buddhist practitioners can be at justifying just about anything they like doing by equating it to some confabulation of Buddhism.
Did the Buddha recommend moderation with
drug and intoxicant usage, animal butchery, dealing in weapons, slavery or fortune telling or did he simply say that these practices led to the creation of harmfulness.Anybody want to explain what the Buddha's harmlessness might be?
Who's willing to give Buddhism a whirl with their big boy pants on?.
Martial arts seems to bring out all the egos.
The path to the least harm is not letting yourself get beat up but nice try.
In fact it could be seen as idiot compassion.
Who's willing to defend their position without resorting to insults?
