"Try not. Do or do not. There is no try."
What in the world does Star Wars have to do with Buddhism?

For one thing, the entire character of Yoda is based on the current Dalai Lama -- the syntax, the odd voice inflections, the hermit lifestyle, the presumed wisdom, the Asiatic exoticism.

Entertaining and engaging, this follow-up to Wisdom’s bestseller The Dharma of Star Wars, The Zen of R2-D2: Ancient Wisdom from a Galaxy Far, Far Away stands on its own.

The Zen of R2-D2: Ancient Wisdom... (eBook)
It will captivate a broad audience with the Star Wars story from a Buddhist perspective. Ever wonder why R2-D2 is:
  • always calm and cool under pressure
  • the key to the Rebellion’s survival
  • wise beyond its programming
  • the one who never fails to save the day?
Could it be because he’s secretly a Zen master? You, too? Me, too? We are, too? Let's discover our inner R2 — the truth about who we really are! 

What's Zen? Chan, Shinto, Taoism
This delightful and illuminating romp unfolds in the form of a fictional dialogue between the author — a diehard Star Wars devotee with a deep connection to Zen — and two cosplayers dressed as C-3PO and R2-D2, insisting on being called by their character names.

Along the way, readers will come to see what everyone’s favorite astromech ("droid") can teach us about peace, happiness, and life’s true meaning. More

Teen sexpot launched the franchise to the stars for wars with mindless white drone bees.
