Answer 1

There is an old saying that "The Pen is mightier than the Sword".

Answer 2

Ideas, influenced by philosophy, are by far the most powerful weapons. What someone believes to be true and what they believe to be right action will guide what they do. If you wish to control or empower someone, hurt him or help him, the surest way to do so is to change his understanding of the world and his place in it. It is much easier to convince people that cutting their own throats is the moral thing to do than it is cut all those throats one's self.

Is there any doubt that the U.S. military could level all of Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia etc.? The U.S. could do this in a matter of hours, but it does not because in spite of the direct threat these nations and their citizens represent, the moral philosophy of the United States forbids it. All political power and persuasion is only derivative of such ideas; without the philosophy behind the scenes politicians would be powerless and persuasion futile.

Answer 6

In the early days of the Meiji era there lived a well-known wrestler called O-nami, Great Waves.

O-nami was immensly strong and knew the art of wresting. In his private bouts he defeated even his teacher, but in public was so bashful that his own pupils threw him.

O-nami felt he should go to a Zen master for help. Hakuju, a wandering teacher, was stopping in a little temple nearby, so O-nami went to see him and told him of his great trouble.

"Great Waves is your name," the teacher advised, "so stay in this temple tonight. Imagine that you are those billows. You are no longer a wrestler who is afraid. You are those huge waves sweeping everything before them, swallowing all in their path. Do this and you will be the greatest wrestler in the land."

The teacher retired. O-nami sat in meditation trying to imagine himself as waves. He thought of many different things. Then gradualy he turned more and more to the feeling of waves. As the night advanced the waves became larger and larger. They swept away the flowers in their vases. Even the Buddha in the shrine was inundated. Before dawn the temple was nothing but the ebb and flow of an immense sea.

In the morning the teacher found O-nami meditating, a faint smile on his face. He patted the wrestler's shoulder. "Now nothing can disturb you," he said. "You are those waves. You will sweep everything before you."

The same day O-nami entered the wrestling contests and won. After that, no one in Japan was able to defeat him.
