"Monks, Madmen, and Martial Masters" is the third set of stories by Christopher M. Clarke aimed at martial artists, history buffs, and those just interested in reading good tales involving courage, honor, strategy, resourcefulness, and the sometimes brutal reality of warfare in the long history of the warrior cultures of East Asia. These include tales of courage in the face of death and tales of treachery; stories of honor and stories of greed; accounts of chivalry and accounts of brutality among warriors; stories of heroic women from ancient times until the present day; tales of kings and the tale of a wastrel who became the most famous martial arts master of his day; the tale of the Mad Monk of medieval Japan and story of the Japanese "Little John." In addition to the book's beautiful full-color front and back cover, "Monks, Madmen, and Martial Masters" is packed with hard-to-find illustrations that relate directly to the stories. A must-read for those interested in martial arts or Asian history.

Follow the brilliant and hilarious adventures of the Zen Buddhist monk who became one of China's greatest folk heroes! During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), Ji Gong studied at the renowned Ling Yin monastery, nestled in the steep hills above Hangzhou. The Chan (Zen) Buddhist masters of the temple tried to instruct Ji Gong in the spartan practices of their sect, but the young monk, following in the footsteps of other great ne'er-do-wells, distinguished himself mainly by getting expelled. He left the monastery, became a wanderer with hardly a proper piece of clothing to wear, and achieved significant renown--in seedy wine shops and drinking establishments! That could have been where Ji Gong's story ended. But his unorthodox style of Buddhism soon made him a hero for storytellers of his era. Audiences delighted in tales where the mad old monk ignored--or even mocked--authority, defied common sense, and never neglected the wine, yet still managed to save the day. Ji Gong remains popular in China even today, where he regularly appears as the wise drunkard in movies and TV shows. In these 89 stories, you'll read about Ji Gong's rogue's knack for exposing the corrupt and criminal while still pursuing the twin delights of enlightenment and intoxication. This literary classic of a traveling martial arts master will entertain readers of all ages!

In an attempt to reconstruct an elusive aspect of the medieval Chinese imagination, The Eminent Monk examines biographies of Chinese Buddhist monks, from the uncompromising ascetic to the unfathomable wonder-worker. While analyzing images of the monk in medieval China, the author addresses some questions encountered along the way: What are we to make of accounts in “eminent monk” collections of deviant monks who violate monastic precepts? Who wrote biographies of monks and who read them? How did different segments of Chinese society contend for the image of the monk and which image prevailed? By placing biographies of monks in the context of Chinese political and religious rhetoric, The Eminent Monk explores both the role of Buddhist literature in Chinese history and the monastic imagination that inspired this literature.

The old Taoist priest, who was exposed by people and was struck by lightning, smiled wryly, and his wrinkled old face showed a trace of sincerity: "Anan, I am doing this for your own good. Recently, I see that your face is a bit wrong, with a black cage and an ominous eyebrow. My mysterious people pay attention to getting lucky and avoiding evil. Even if I am a liar, I have never thought of cheating you. For the sake of a colleague, I am kind ... Speaking of faces, the old man nagged endlessly
