内法 · Inner Dharma

Inner Dharma is a writing project maintained by Mark Raugas that is mostly concerned with Internal Martial Arts and Japanese Swordsmanship.

Over the years, I also have written about Yoga and Buddhism as well as Aikidō and Aiki-jujutsu, the latter which I studied in NYC before learning internal martial arts and classical weapons practices.

Please visit the photo galleries and consult the list of recommended references for works that inspired me, along with links to some of the published writing that stemmed from this activity.



饒静思
 

 

百物先地天 無形本為寂
能著像主不 逐四時泪寥

There is something before heaven and earth, formless and silent.
It can manifest all things and does not wither with the seasons.
