“A must-read for anyone ever inspired by the wisdom of Yoda, the courage of Luke Skywalker, or even the dark side of Darth Vader.” —Noah Levine, author of Dharma Punx

THE DHARMA OF STAR WARS

Matthew Bortolin

“What is the Dharma? And what in Sith spit does it have to do with Star Wars? Well, if you’re like me, it has everything to do with that glorious galaxy far, far away…”

Here, the modern space saga and the ancient words of the Buddha illuminate each other in playful and unexpectedly rewarding ways, answering questions such as

Is Yoda a Zen Master?
Do Jedis practice mindfulness?
Did attachment cause Darth Vader’s turn to the Dark Side?

Covering everything from A New Hope to The Clone Wars, this revised and expanded edition provides a unique take on the intergalactic epic and an inspiring introduction to Buddhism.
