Hi all,
As you might know from a certain moment on specific branches of Buddhism ( i.e. Chan) were associated to “physical” & martial practices. What is Pure Dhamma perspective on this subject ? Has a Bhaudhdhayā the right to defend himself vigorously if and when his/her “physical integrity ” is at stake ?
For Julius Evola on his “The Doctrine of Enlightenment” the Bhaudhdhaya has also something of a warrior because of his stoicism – capacity to endure heat, cold, etc etc…
Thank you
