From the tradition of martial arts we learn that there are four rules that each of us can follow in our day to day lives to achieve stability of mind, peace and happiness. Like a long buried secret, these four rules have been hidden in the plain sight of the fighting arts from Asia. But following these Four Rules from Martial Arts isn't just about combat. To the contrary, they can have a transformative and powerfully positive impact on every one of our lives. In this episode, Zebediah Rice explores the second of these rules, "Heal the Situation" and connects it with ancient spiritual traditions like Islam and Buddhism.
