What does it mean to be a spiritual warrior? It's a phrase that gets a lot of mileage, but what does anyone actually mean when they use it? What does it mean to have "quests" in the modern era? What is my dharma, yours, and the dharma of others? How do we embody spiritual practices in every day life? What does it mean for martial artists or those who play literal warrior roles in society? How do all these fit together? What stories do we have to learn from, along these lines?
