The Art of Budo
"In my lifelong spiritual quest, I have read hundreds of sutras; plowed through pages and pages of philosophical texts; grappled with koan collections; analyzed thousands of poems; searched through biographies; meditated for hours; and interacted with many teachers, good and bad.

John Stevens shares more about the calligraphy and paintings of the martial arts masters in this piece.
