Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Bow and Arrow warrior should be objective and perceptive in regard to all things. He should not bring on eternal disgrace by solicitude for his limited life. He should die when he should, for the sake of the sole sovereign, or serving under the commander of the military in a time of need.
#2 People who should be in civil service demean themselves, thinking it won’t be easy for them. They forget that they were born a human, and should aspire to surpass the masses and help others.
#3 The human mind can become good or bad, keen or dull, depending on how it’s used. A person’s prime is only about ten years long; during that period, they should enjoy everything. From the age of ten to fourteen or fifteen, there is no real true enthusiasm for things.
#4 You should never base anything on people, and never deceive. When it comes to combat, you should keep your spirits up and think there’s no one stronger than you. You should consider yourself a source of strength for others, and consider them reliable too.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The prayer to strengthen your authority is a form of national defense. If you do not govern the land to restore an orderly society, there will be no point in occupying that office.

#2

The significance of our debt to our parents is expounded in both Buddhist and Confucian classics. Buddhist teaching says we couldn’t repay this debt even if we carried our parents around the polar mountain every day on our shoulders.

#3

A straightforward mind is like a mirror. If a fine-looking person looks in a mirror, it reflects a fine appearance. When an ugly person looks in the mirror, it reflects an ugly appearance.

#4

Kindness and compassion are two of the most important virtues in Buddhism. They are the wish to relieve suffering for others and the wish to give them happiness. In a Buddha’s heart is the thought of relieving suffering for all beings and giving them happiness.

#5

The third Ashikaga shogun used to attend imperial parties and had a taste for music and song. Taking things that far is a superabundance of refinement. Whatever it is, something that can please your company should be cultivated, according to the time.

#6

Administration of government is not something to be taken lightly. If you ignore the matters of government, you will be making a mockery of your ancestors, who were both loyal and ethical in public service.
