More quotes by Morihei Ueshiba
I have been given many teachings by Sarutahiko-no-O-Kami. OKami told me, 'By the work of Takehaya Susanowo no Mikoto, you will worship the Ame no Murakumo KuKamisamuhara Ryu O (Kami of Takemusu) and build an Aiki shrine and dojo.' Then I built the Aiki shrine and dojo in Iwama, Ibaragi prefecture in 1940.

Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.
Morihei Ueshiba
The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.
Morihei Ueshiba
LIFE IS A DIVINE GIFT. The divine is not something outside of us it is right in our very center it is our freedom. In our training, we learn the real nature of life and death. When life is victorious, there is birth when it is thwarted, there is death. A warrior is always engaged in a life-and-death struggle for peace.
Morihei Ueshiba
ALL THINGS, material and spiritual, originate from one source and are related as if they were one family. The past, present, and future are all contained in the life force. The universe emerged and developed from one source, and we evolved through the optimal process of unification and harmonization.
Morihei Ueshiba
To practice properly the Art of Peace, you must: Calm the spirit and return to the source. Cleanse the body and spirit by removing all malice, selfishness, and desire. Be ever grateful for the gifts received from the universe, your family, Mother nature, and your fellow human beings.

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
Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead. The Art of Peace is a celebration of the bonding of heaven, earth, and humankind. It is all that is true, good, and beautiful.

All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you.
