Samurai Theologian

I've got a friend who rates world religions by their testosterone levels. He thinks Buddhism has the lowest level - i.e., is the most peaceful and calming.

But I've been thinking about the Samurai, who seemed plenty macho to me. Weren't they mostly Zen Buddhists?

Sometimes a state of calm
Explodes like a bomb.

One moment, peace.
Then the beast is released.
