Polish the heart, free the six senses and let them function without obstruction, and your entire body will glow.
Morihei UeshibaTrue victory does not come from defeating an enemy, true victory comes from giving love and changing an enemies heart.
Morihei UeshibaEACH DAY OF HUMAN life contains joy and anger, pain and pleasure, darkness and light, growth and decay. Each moment is etched with natureโs grand design-do not try to deny or oppose the cosmic order of things.
Morihei UeshibaPRACTICE THE Art of Peace sincerely, and evil thoughts and deeds will naturally disappear. The only desire that should remain is the thirst for more and more training in the Way.
Morihei UeshibaI 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.
