True victory does not come from defeating an enemy, true victory comes from giving love and changing an enemies heart.

Cleanse your body and soul, removing malice, selfishness and desire.

True budo is a work of love. It is a work of giving life to all beings, and not killing or struggling with each other. Love is the guardian deity of everything. Nothing can exist without it. Aikido is the realization of love.

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!

To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury is the Art of Peace.

THE PATH IS exceedingly vast. From ancient times to the present day, even the greatest sages were unable to perceive and comprehend the entire truth; the explanation and teachings of masters and saints express only part of the whole. It is not possible for anyone to speak of such things in their entirety. Just head for the light and heat, learn from the gods, and through the virtue of devoted practice of the Art of Peace, become one with the divine.

Foster and polish the warrior spirit while serving in the world; illuminate the path according to your inner light.
