Happy May the 4th, fellow Star Wars nerds! 🤓
If, like me, you've ever wondered, "Is the Force real?" then this video is for you! I'll share a few thoughts on ideas from Buddhism and Asian martial arts about the life force energy (qi, chi, prana, etc.) that circulates through the body and through the world around us.
And did you know that when George Lucas came up with the Jedi, he was inspired in part by Zen Buddhism? Yep.
So nerd out with me, and if you have other Star Wars/Buddhism questions, please write me at [email protected]!
May all beings be well. 🙏
