I have found that the Way of the samurai is death. This means that when you are compelled to choose between life and death, you must quickly choose death.

When confronted with two alternatives, life and death, one is to choose death without hesitation.

A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death.

As long as people overlook matters, then inferiors can, without any fear, lead an easy and peaceful life.

The deepest love is often hidden.

Our bodies are given life from the midst of nothingness. Existing where there is nothing is the meaning of the phrase, "Form is emptiness." That all things are provided for by nothingness is the meaning of the phrase, "Emptiness is form." One should not think that these are two seperate things.

A warrior is worthless unless he rises above others and stands strong in the midst of a storm.
