Book Description
Moving Toward Stillness: Lessons in Daily Life from the Martial Ways of Japan is a distillation of the most important lessons learned from a lifetime devoted to martial arts training. Drawing from his highly regarded magazine columns in Black Belt magazine, author Dave Lowry sets out lessons that not only guide us to a deeper understanding of the social values and moral imperatives that are the ancient heart of budo, but speak to us also of the universal nature of those values and of how they remain relevant to us, in the modern West. Among the 45 chapters of this martial arts philosophy book you'll find lessons addressing everything from such well-known martial concepts as "one encounter, one chance" to the art of being alone, from strategy for the modern-day battlefield to the luxury of anger, from subduing the self and bending like the bamboo to maintaining an unwavering calm in the face of death. Essays include: The Way of the Master Excess Baggage Swimming 'Round the Stone Simple Things Even if I Die Not Knowing, But Doing and many more

Book Description
This book is a second hat, meant to be placed over the first one (which was already unnecessary). Ultimately, no one should read this book for children, which will only bring you more confusion. The cover is white, but there’s a lot of mud dripping from the inside. I’ve only made it so that ‘anybody’ has a road to Zen. If the first volume in this series can be seen as an abrupt introduction (like a crazy uncle who immediately throws you in the water, even before you can finish saying “I wish I could swim”), this volume is like a deep dive, reaching for an updated post-modern view on an ancient philosophy of consciousness and language. Have you ever heard of the “Brazilian Jiu-jitsu”? Well, here is some Brazilian Zen! In it, a tropical pirate is shamefully opening vaults of stolen treasure, exposing the hidden secrets from ancient sages. It includes the Diamond Sutra and the Maha-Rahulovada Sutra; excerpts from The Hagakure, the book of the samurai; records from master Joshu and all kinds of texts that influenced Zen Buddhism, that are part of its history, or that have flourished from it.
