Hello Mr.Amdur and all on this forum,
Somewhere, Mr.Amdur, you published or posted something of your opinions on the basis of ethics in Buddhism during which you cite Emmanuel Levinas. I'm sorry but I can't remember where I saw this. A google search doesn't turn it up. Perhaps you could refresh my memory?
Some of the most interesting material in Duelling for me revolves around the ethical questions that we face as martial artists i.e. people who train in violence. I have never really seen this addressed to any satisfying degree before;many must assume that this is taken in care of in the gestures towards "character-building" which is supposed to be implicit along 'the Way.'
I wonder how many others who peruse this site felt a very strong resonance with Mr.Amdur's immersion into the psychology of violence which he admirably confronts in Dueling ?
Thank you.
