Virtues in the Martial Arts
Bibliography, Links, Resources, Quotes, Notes


Note: When this webpage was first created in 2004 it reflected my interest in the topics presented in Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior by Chogyam Trungpa.  In September, 2005, in began its expansion into the topics of martial virtues, Buddhism and the martial arts, bushido, the code of the warrior, military ethics, courage, etc..  Tibetan Buddhism, indcluding Tantric practices and yoga are covered on another webpage.

 

Starting on April 8, 2016, this webpage will move to a new location:  http://www.egreenway.com/taichichuan/virtues.htm  

The emphasis on the new webpage will be different, less Buddhist, more philosophical, more inclusive.
