Fearlessness

October 8, 2008

THE WARRIOR'S WEAPONS

If victory is the notion of no enemy, then the whole world is a
friend. That seems to be the warrior's philosophy. The true warrior
is not like somebody carrying a sword and looking behind his own
shadow, in case somebody is lurking there. That is the setting-sun
warrior's point of view, which is an expression of cowardice. The
true warrior always has a weapon, in any case....The definition of
warriorship is fearlessness and gentleness. Those are your weapons.
The genuine warrior becomes truly gentle because there is no enemy at all.

Simplicity


 
DHARMA ART

The basic sense of delight and spontaneity in a person who has opened
fully and thoroughly to him or herself and to life can provide
wonderful rainbows and thundershowers and gusts of wind. We don't
have to be tied down to the greasy-spoon world of well-meaning
artists with their heavy-handed looks on their faces and overfed
information in their brains. The basic idea of dharma art is the
sense of peace and the refreshing coolness of the absence of neurosis.
