Tervetuloa!
Some Basic Thoughts For Today:
If we look at the world we see arts for sale. This is surely not the way.' Men use equipment to sell their own selves. As with the nut and the flower, the nut has become less than the flower. In this kind of Way of strategy, both those teaching and those learning the way are concerned with colouring and showing off their technique, trying to hasten the bloom of the flower. They speak of "This Dojo" and "That Dojo". They are looking for profit. Someone once said "Immature strategy is the cause of grief". That was a true saying.
- From Mushasi Miyamoto's "5 Rings Classic"
The evil is dreaded by men but not heaven; the kind-hearted is
cheated by mortals but not God.
- Ancient Chinese Proverb
