 21 precepts of Miyamot Musashi For those of you who don't know Miyamot Musashi, read about him on wikipedia  Here is his 21 precepts of the lone warrior (Dokkodo, meaning The Way to Be Followed Alone). Some of the precepts are good. Find what you think is useful and apply it to your daily life. Discard what doesn't apply. 1. "Accept everything just the way it is." 2. "Do not seek pleasure for its own sake." 3. "Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling." 4. "Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world." 5. "Be detached from desire your whole life long." 6. "Do not regret what you have done." 7. "Never be jealous." 8. "Never let yourself be saddened by a separation." 9. "Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself or others." 10. "Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love." 11. "In all things have no preferences." 12. "Be indifferent to where you live." 13. "Do not pursue the taste of good food." 14. "Do no hold on to possessions you no longer need." 15. "Do not act following customary beliefs." 16. "Do not collect weapons or practice with weapons beyond what is useful." 17. "Do not fear death." 18. "Do not seek to possess either goods or fiefs for your old age." 19. "Respect Buddha and the gods without counting on their help." 20. "You may abandon your own body but you must preserve your honour." 21. "Never stray from the Way." Everything I make a decision I sub-consciously use the 21 precepts as my guide. I found a big improve over the good decisions.      |
