Re: Aikido, Martial Arts, and Buddhism
Your post is interesting and quite pertinent to the aikido philosophical dialog. There are so many perspectives on and within Buddhism that nailing down a definitive response to this kind of question is quite difficult. Additionally, we must be careful in our discussion of Buddhism in that we must consider whether we are talking about Buddhism as a religion or a philosophy. My question is considered a “violent art?” This is to say, what makes an art violent...or more violent than others?
