Abstract

Yoda is a personification of a Zen master. The origin of Zen comes out of a Buddhist Taoist synthesis through the Shaolin Temple in China. Shaolin is also the place out of which Kung fu emerged -- martial arts rooted in the cultivation of "Ch'i." The "Force" in 0RW1S34RfeSDcfkexd09rT2Star Wars1RW1S34RfeSDcfkexd09rT20RW1S34RfeSDcfkexd09rT2 - is based on the notion of Ch'i -- omnipresent life force energy. Yin and Yang (the light and the dark) is a central concept to the metaphysics of Ch'i, which teaches balance as the way to harmony with the energy of the universe.1RW1S34RfeSDcfkexd09rT2
