The Art of Peace begins with you.

Do not look upon this world with fear and loathing. Bravely face whatever the gods offer.

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.

DAILY TRAINING in the Art of Peace allows your inner divinity to shine brighter and brighter. Do not concern yourself with the right and wrong of others. Do not be calculating or act unnaturally. Keep your mind focused on the Art of Peace, and do not criticize other teachers or traditions. The Art of Peace never restrains or shackles anything. It embraces all and purifies everything.

You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your inner enlightenment.

Failure is the key to success; each mistake teaches us something.

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