The essence of the contribution of Zen to the martial arts is to be
found in:
7. Right Concentration
8. Right Mindfulness.
Concentration and Mindfulness are secular activities, and yes, the
Concentration is a pre-requisite for the development of Mindfulnes; that
is, in the moment the mind takes the already-developed Concentration and
focuses it like a laser beam on any and all events or a chosen subset of
events in the here and now, to achieve specified objectives. This
capability is especially effective in the martial arts and in business
strategizing.
