    It's no secret that Star Wars mythology has a lot of eastern flavor to it but I just came across this last night and had a good time seeing all the Star Wars connections in it and though I'd share. It's not as long a read as it sounds, the "chapters" are like paragraphs. Just long enough that I wouldn't want to paste the whole thing here.

    I searched on "Sutra" and didn't find any hits so if it's been discussed before I apologize.

    Interesting. Are there any parallels you want to discuss?

    If you don't mind, I'd like to change the title of this thread to Star Wars and the Sutra: Connections with Eastern Mythology or something similar.

    mmmmmm... I see alot of connections to the Jedi code. Some profound stuff there, but I think the concept of renouncing love is hard to swallow for most people.
