There is "what is" only when there is no comparing and to live with "what is" is to be peaceful.

Reality is apparent when one ceases to compare.

You and your opponent are one. There is a coexisting relationship between you. You coexist with your opponent and become his complement, absorbing his attack and using his force to overcome him.

Self-knowledge involves relationship. To know oneself is to study one self in action with another person. Relationship is a process of self evaluation and self revelation. Relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself - to be is to be related.

I think of myself as a human being.

The mind is like a fertile garden in which anything that is planted, flowers or weeds, will grow.

I refer to my hands, feet and body as the tools of the trade. The hands and feet must be sharpened and improved daily to be efficient.
