More quotes by Morihei Ueshiba
THE ART OF PEACE is not easy. It is a fight to the finish, the slaying of evil desires and all falsehood within. On occasion the voice of peace resounds like thunder, jolting human beings out of their stupor.
Morihei Ueshiba
In true budo there is no enemy or opponent. True budo is to become one with the universe, not train to become powerful or to throw down some opponent. Rather we train in hopes of being of some use, however small our role may be, in the task of bringing peace to mankind around the world.
Morihei Ueshiba
The Way of a Warrior is based on humanity, love, and sincerity the heart of martial valor is true bravery, wisdom, love, and friendship. Emphasis on the physical aspects of warriorship is futile, for the power of the body is always limited.
Morihei Ueshiba
Polish the heart, free the six senses and let them function without obstruction, and your entire body will glow.
Morihei Ueshiba
In extreme situations, the entire universe becomes our foe at such critical times, unity of mind and technique is essential - do not let your heart waver!
Morihei Ueshiba
The Art of Peace begins with you.
Morihei Ueshiba
Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything.
Morihei Ueshiba
If you have not linked yourself to true emptiness, you will never understand the art of peace.
Morihei Ueshiba
INSTRUCTORS CAN impart a fraction of the teaching. It is through your own devoted practice that the mysteries of the Art of Peace are brought to life.
Morihei Ueshiba
All life is a manifestation of the spirit, the manifestation of love.
Morihei Ueshiba
Ultimately, you must forget about technique. The further you progress, the fewer teachings there are. The Great Path is really NO PATH.
Morihei Ueshiba
Peace originates with the flow of things - its heart is like the movement of the wind and waves. The Way is like the veins that circulate blood through our bodies, following the natural flow of the life force. If you are separated in the slightest from that divine essence, you are far off the path.
Morihei Ueshiba
Cast off limiting thoughts and return to true emptiness. Stand in the midst of the great void. This is the secret of the Way of a Warrior.
Morihei Ueshiba
If you are centered, you can move freely.
Morihei Ueshiba
Always keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky, the great ocean, and the highest peak, empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment.
Morihei Ueshiba
There are times when you may be overwhelmed by the teachings of the Way. At such moments, it is important to continue with the original spirit of a beginner.
Morihei Ueshiba
Each person is the universe from a particular perspective.
Morihei Ueshiba
Everything - even mountains, rivers, plants and trees - should be your teacher.
Morihei Ueshiba
FACE A SINGLE FOE as if you are facing ten thousand enemies face ten thousand enemies as a single foe.
Morihei Ueshiba
You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your inner enlightenment.
Morihei Ueshiba
