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.

Aikido is based on the projection of love.

If you have life in you, you have access to the secrets of the ages, for the truth of the universe resides in each and every human being.

THE TECHNIQUES OF the Art of Peace are neither fast nor slow, nor are they inside or outside.. They transcend time and space.

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.

Your heart is full of fertile seeds, waiting to sprout.

The realization of our true substance and potential is the purpose of creation.
