During his first match, he stands perfectly still as it begins. His opponent confused, slowly approaches him while he stands still as a stone. The opponent decides to seize the opportunity and lunges at the buddhist man. The buddhist man parried the lunge, following up with an incredibly fast lunge of his own. It connected perfectly.
Again and again this happened, in each round the buddhist man did not move until his opponent unleashed an attack, after which he would perfectly parry and thrust back. Eventually, the buddhist man won the tournament through this peculiar fencing style.
After the tournament, the buddhist man's first opponent came up to him to ask him "You seem to be a brilliant fencer, why did you always wait for people to strike at you instead of striking at them?"
The buddhist man looks knowingly at his past opponent and says "My friend, the best way to earn karma is to riposte"
