Yeah, that's that Buddhist retreat center, right? Very serene between weapons practice.
Meditation is very much a part of weapons control. Read Musashi's "Book of the Five Rings." Many of the Samurai were Zen students, and more than a few were actually Zen masters. Also read Jocho Yamamoto's book, "The Hagacure", he was a 16th Cent. Zen Samurai/monk. The book later came to be used as required reading for the glorius "Spirit Wind" pilots in WWII. How more noble can a man's life end, then to love his country, or his cause, his family, his friends -- more than himself? BlackWing
