THE DHARMA OF STAR WARS

Matthew Bortolin

"Star Wars: Das Erwachen der Macht" kommt am 17. Dezember 2015 in die Kinos
Is Yoda a Zen Master? What might Jedi training be like? Is the story of Luke Skywalker a spiritual epic?

THE DHARMA OF STAR WARS links George Lucas's beloved classic and the wise words of the Buddha in playful and unexpectedly rewarding ways. Exploring Darth Vader's karma, the dark side within, and the way of the Force, Bortolin presents an inspiring, totally new take on the Star Wars saga—and a fresh interpretation of Buddhist teachings. Includes instruction in “The Jedi Art of Mindfulness and Concentration” and “The Padawan Handbook: Zen Contemplations for the Would-Be Jedi.”

Fun for all ages, THE DHARMA OF STAR WARS is also a perfect way for Buddhist parents to bridge the generation gap.

Matthew Bortolin has camped out for tickets to all the Star Wars movies, and a set of Jedi robes hangs in his closet. He is an ordained member of Thich Nhat Hanh's Order of Interbeing, and has lived in Buddhist monasteries both in the United States and abroad.
