Mo Tzu?

[SanHeChuan]

Does anyone have any good resources for the Chinese philosopher Mo Tzu?

As I understand it he advocated universal love, and to his critics who said that good in theory but not every one will love everyone, he said everyone would embrace universal love if they understood how it would benefit them personally.

is that about right?

Yeah.
Sounds about right to me,based on my knowledge.
Well I think it differs in a way since certain other philosophers who did promote love promotion,did not necessarily mean it in the same manner for everyone (certain hierarchy here) while Mo Tzu was more open with his.
I´ll try to post some links soon,unless someone else happens to.

There is apparently a martial arts lineage inherited from Mo Tzu.

Now that’s what I’d really like to know about!!!:D

I'm researching a style that refers to Mo Tzu in the title. I thought it was referencing his philosophy but perhaps it was a reference to the style/lineage!!!:confused:

Oh and thanks for the links.

At the surface, but not at the root.
One of my favorite movie lines, from Shaolin Temple 3:
Buddha shows no mercy to devils!

Now that’s what I’d really like to know about!!!
