Do Zen Buddhists practice martial arts?

Some do, some don't.. but martial arts in and of themselves are not intrinsic to Zen. As I understand it the samurai borrowed heavily from Zen.

What are the commandments of the Buddhists?

I hope I can be of some help. Many different schools of Buddhism have emerged sine the Buddha planted the seed of the practice 2500 years ago. I follow the Zen school of Bud…dhism so my answer is from that perspective. Basically there are no commandments in Buddhism. The Buddha was an ordinary man who woke up to, and saw the nature of reality, all human beings can achieve Buddhahood. Buddhism is a set of practice designed to liberate the individual from suffering. It does not strictly speaking have an opinion on God or metaphysics, although it doesn't rule it out it is simply irrelevant to the goals of Buddhist practice. Buddhism is more of a dialogue more similar to a form of psychotherapy than a religion. Buddha described the practice (Dharma) as like a boat to cross a river, when we have no further use for it let it go. Don't cling on to anything, even Buddhist teachings. The basic ideas that the buddha formulated are the four noble truths and the eight fold path. 1. Life is characterized by suffering or unhappiness. 2. Suffering is caused by clinging onto ideas and things that are always themselves changing. 3. People can reduce and end their suffering. 4. The method is the eightfold path. The eightfold path is a set of techniques to develop Wisdom, Ethical Conduct and Mental Development, abbreviated to; 1. Right View 2. Right Intention 3. Right Speech 4. Right Action 5. Right Livelihood 6. Right Effort 7. Right Mindfulness. 8. Right Concentration. These are ways to reduce our suffering rather than commandments to be obeyed. Different schools of Buddhism have developed different techniques to achieve them. Buddhism is about meeting reality as it is without flinching or hiding or making up comforting stories. No two Buddhists will have the same view point because it is based in your own experience of your life. By seeing through our delusions we will have an experience of true nature which is free flowing and without boundaries. Buddhas final words were; Be a light unto yourself, do not take refuge in any external thing, hold fast to the truth and do not take refuge in anything but yourself. (MORE)
