- the art of fighting without fighting: in fact this passage is also placed in the art of the war of sun tzu, in the book of the five rings of miyamoto musashi, a samurai warrior famous for his skill with the sword, in the book of tao te king de lao tze and in various Zen passages. Zen, after all, has sucked from Tao.
this passage can be exemplified in one of the sequences of the film "Operation Dragon", where the famous Bruce Lee, one of the greatest exponents of martial arts, and disciplined student of philosophy became famous.
in the movie we see a moment when they are on the ship and there is a bully who is abusing the Chinese workers and passengers of the ship, he hits them one and the other taking advantage of his physical strength. when he appears bruce lee challenges him to fight to end his abuses, but informs him that his technique is the art of fighting without fighting.
the happy guy to continue fighting accepts the challenge, but bruce lee points out a small bay to which you had to get off the boat and arrive by boat. the guy goes down and when he is in the boat, Bruce reads instead of going down with the guy to fight, he gives the rope to the Chinese they had abused and they are happy with the rope move the boat to make the abusive fall into the water , finally everyone laughs and bruce lee goes away. Here is a great lesson in the art of fighting without fighting.
countless times we are exposed to verbal conflicts and often we are prey to our emotions taking us usually to areas where we later regret or feel very bad, with "the art of fighting without fighting" we do not have to enter into that game of fighting , we have if our mind is clear and not obfuscated, the possibility of opting for other ways much healthier, and in which we will not be responsible for the anger or obfuscation of the other person. the other person may think that we are cowards, fools or whatever, but that will not alter our conscience either, that he wants to be at peace.
very good practice of this we can do in Lima traffic. Driving with a Zen attitude in Lima can be very helpful for everyone. fewer honks, more repeto, more welfare, more relaxation, less stress.
the art of fighting without fighting is an ancient technique already systematized by great philosophers and it would be good not only to know them for the benefit of all but to internalize them, because that is what the Zen attitude is about. not to learn something for our memory and to show off our knowledge, and thus enter arrogance and arrogance, if not to internalize the lesson and use it for our benefit and consequently that of all.
