Walking With The Tengu

Mozi: How To Achieve Mastery


Listen Later

In this episode we look at the way of the junzi (君子), the "superior person" according to Mozi. A philosophical opponent to Kongzi (Confucius) who, I think, lends his philosophy well to anyone looking to practice the martial arts. 

Our selection today comes from Book 1 "Befriending The Learned" (https://ctext.org/mozi/befriending-the-learned).

You might also be interested in watching the 2006 Hong Kong film "Battle of the Warriors" also known in English as "A Battle of Wits." Which depicts a student of Mozi putting his philosophy of self-defense for the weak against the strong into action. (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485863/)
