spiritual warrior

A Quote by Deishu on zen and spiritual warrior

If a fine sword is not constantly polished, it will never show its luster. If you don't practice, you will never be able to master universals and particulars. Plenty of people can talk about Zen, but not many can live it. Get to work!

A Quote by Tsunetomo Yamamoto on bushido, zen, life, rain, and spiritual warrior

There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you will still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to everyhting
