As if with the nut and flower, the nut has become less than the flower... both those teaching and those learning are concerned with colouring and showing off their technique, trying to hasten the bloom of the flower.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
The Way of the warrior does not include other ways, such as Confucianism, Buddhism, certain traditions, artistic accomplishments, and dancing. But even though these are not part of the Way, if you know the Way broadly, you will see it in everything.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
All man are the same except for their belief in their own selves, regardless of what others may think of them
Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi
