The Way and Mind of a Zen Warrior

The power of the warrior mind is its ability to act from a state of No Mind, with technique arising effortlessly out of emptiness. As a mirror reflects objects without clinging to the images, the Warrior Mind is free to flow from one object to the next without impediment. From this state arises instinctive wisdom, the power that allows ordinary people to perform extraordinary feats. This Zen mind-guide to empowerment is an active meditation for those who wish to be in the world, but not of it.

Warriors take chances. Like everyone else, they fear failing, but they refuse to let fear control them.
