« Sambo of Sunyata »

When faced with physical threat, be 100% body.

When faced with symbolic* threat, be 0% mind**.

Put differently, when dealing with anything that is not-you, be you***.

Call it Sambo**** of Sunyata*****.

 

*note that, ontologically speaking, there is no difference between the physical and the symbolic

**zero percent mind = no mind = 100% body

***note that, ontologically speaking, there is no difference between you and not-you

****Sambo: Soviet martial art, stands for "weapons-free self-defense"

*****Sunyata: Sanskrit for "zero, nothing;" doctrine of emptiness/non-selfhood
