Innere Ruhe finden

ist ein Wunsch, == den wir heutigen Menschen uns selbst ganz bewusst erfüllen müssen. Ein möglicher Weg dazu ist die Meditation. Meditation im Stile des ZEN setzt nicht das Erlernen komplizierter Techniken voraus, sondern macht den Alltag selbst zur Übung, um dort innere und äußere Präsenz und Wachsamkeit zu lernen. Das Wochenende umfasst Meditation, achtsame Körperübungen und Hintergrundinformationen.


Silence

doesn’t just mean not talking. Most of the noise we experience is the busy chatter inside our own head. - Thich Nhat Hanh, in ”Silence".

Wenn die Achtsamkeit === etwas Schönes berührt, == offenbart sie dessen Schönheit. Wenn sie etwas Schmerzvolles berührt, wandelt sie es um und heilt es. Thich Nhat Hanh: Das Glück einen Baum zu umarmen, S. 42


"Together, we can make an effort to go home to the here and the now to realize it is wonderful to be present. Each moment of our daily life can be a wonder. Each morning we are given one day, twenty-four hours to live. Waking up in the morning, we should be able to receive that gift with all our heart. Waking up this morning, I smile. I know that twenty-four brand new hours are given to me as a gift. And I vow to live each minute deeply, touching the wonders of life and learning how to look at people with the eyes of compassion. One day is a big gift, a new opportunity. We are given one day this morning, and maybe if we are lucky, tomorrow we will be given another day. We have to learn how to enjoy each day deeply, and that is our practice. Because if you are not well in your body, there is no way you can help another person to be well in his or her body." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh, in "Freedom Is Our Practice".


"Silence is essential. We need silence just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh


To bring about real change, our efforts must be collective and harmonious, based on love and respect for ourselves and each other, our ancestors and future generations. If anger at injustice is what we use as the source of our energy, we may do something harmful, something we will later regret. According to Buddhism, compassion is the only source of energy that is useful and safe. That is why love must always go together with understanding. Understanding and insight show us how to act. - Thich Nhat Hanh


When we know how to begin anew we get a lot more energy, joy and aspiration that can help us transform what is negative in us, and help us have more joy, more capacity to transform the situation around us. To be born is a form of beginning anew. And that is why we should be able to be born as a new being at every moment of our lives. There are people who may say, "I am too old to begin again." That is because they have not seen the true nature of life, of the practice of Beginning Anew. We can practice Beginning Anew at any moment of our lives. - Thich Nhat Hanh 'Beginning Anew' dharma talk

Tao te ching

“The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.” ―from TAO TE CHING by Lao Tzu


Written during the golden age of Chinese philosophy, and composed partly in prose and partly in verse, the Tao Te Ching is surely the most terse and economical of the world’s great religious texts. In a series of short, profound chapters it elucidates the idea of the Tao, or the Way–an idea that in its ethical, practical, and spiritual dimensions has become essential to the life of China’s enormously powerful civilization. In the process of this elucidation, Lao-tzu both clarifies and deepens those central religious mysteries around which our life on earth revolves. Translation of the Ma Wang Tui Manuscripts by D. C. Lau. READ more here: http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com ... 260217 via fb


"A leader is best when people barely know that he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worst when they despise him. Fail to honor people, They fail to honor you. But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aims fulfilled, they will all say, 'We did this ourselves'." —from TAO TE CHING (4th century BCE) by Lao Tzu

Tao te ching ==


Tao te ching - No. 48 in deutsch

Wer das Lernen übt, vermehrt täglich. Wer den SINN übt, vermindert täglich. Er vermindert und vermindert, bis er schließlich ankommt beim Nichtsmachen. Beim Nichtsmachen bleibt nichts ungemacht. Das Reich erlangen kann man nur, wenn man immer frei bleibt von Geschäftigkeit. Die Vielbeschäftigten sind nicht geschickt, das Reich zu erlangen.“

Übersetzung von Richard Wilhelm http://www.iging.com/laotse/LaotseD.htm


Tao Te Ching - No. 48 in englisch 

In the pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired.
In the pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped.
Less and less is done
Until non-action is achieved.
When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.
The world is ruled by letting things take their course.
It cannot be ruled by interfering.
-- Lao Tzu



Tao te ching - No. 56

 Wenn du weißt, was es ist, dann zerrede es nicht;
 tust du das doch, dann hast du nicht verstanden.

 Schweig still, bewahre es in dir, und schließe deine Pforten.
 Vermeide alle Schärfe und entwirre die Knoten.

 Spüre dein Leichtsein -
           und laß es mit anderen verschmelzen.
 Dies, so sagen wir, ist unser grundlegendes Einssein.

 Der Weise, der so handelt, muß sich nicht sorgen
 um Menschen, die man "Freund" nennt oder "Feind",
 nicht um Gewinn oder Verlust, um Ehre oder Schande -

 Oh nein, er ist Herr seines Lebens.



Tao te ching - No. xx

Ein guter Krieger sucht niemals Streit,
und nie verliert er die Beherrschung.

Ein guter Kämpfer tritt dem Feind nicht frontal entgegen:

>>>>>> Wer mit Menschen umzugehen weiß, zeigt sich darin ganz >>>>>> bescheiden. 


Dies kommt aus der Tugend des Nicht-Streitens,

>>>>>> aus dem Wissen, mit anderer Menschen Kraft sich zu verbinden. 


Seit unvordenklichen Zeiten

>>>>>> ist dies der Weg, dem Himmel zu entsprechen.

"These days, in our materialistic culture, many people are led to believe that money is the ultimate source of happiness. Consequently, when they don’t have enough of it they feel let down. Therefore, it is important to let people know that they have the source of contentment and happiness within themselves, and that it is related to nurturing our natural inner values." ~ H.H. the Dalai Lama, XIV

Effortlessness is the key to success.

Don’t fight. Don’t try hard. Just allow yourself to sit. This relaxing way of sitting is also resting. Allow your body to rest. - Thich Nhat Hanh, in "Breathe, You Are Alive: The Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing".


Zen Proverbs‏ @ZenProverbs

We are always in transition. If you can just relax with that, you'll have no problem. — Chögyam Trungpa

Pema Chödrön

ist US-Amerikanerin und buddhistische Nonne in der Tradition des tibetischen Meditationsmeisters Chögyam Trungpa. Sie ist Leiterin des tibetischen Klosters Gampo Abbey auf der kanadischen Insel Cape Breton. Neben Ayya Khema gehört Pema Chödrön heute zu den bekanntesten buddhistischen Lehrerinnen der Welt. Wie diese wurde sie Mutter, bevor sie ihre Gelübde als Nonne ablegte und ist somit bestens sowohl mit dem weltlichen als auch dem geistlichen Leben vertraut.


Whatever you experience in your life

— pain, pleasure, heat, cold, or anything else — is like something happening in a dream.

Although you might think things are very solid, they are like passing memory. You can experience this open, unfixated quality in sitting meditation; all that arises in your mind—hate, love, and all the rest—is not solid. Although the experience can get extremely vivid, it is just a product of your mind. Nothing solid is really happening.

The Compassion Book: Teachings for Awakening the Heart by Pema Chödrön, pages 4–5


Thinking that we can find some lasting pleasure and avoid pain

is what in Buddhism is called samsara, a hopeless cycle that goes round and round endlessly and causes us to suffer greatly. The very first noble truth of the Buddha points out that suffering is inevitable for human beings as long as we believe that things last - that they don’t disintegrate, that they can be counted on to satisfy our hunger for security.”

~ Pema Chödrön


Instead of the resentment being an obstacle, it’s a reminder.

Feeling irritated, restless, afraid, and hopeless is a reminder to listen more carefully. It’s a reminder to stop talking; watch and listen.

~ Pema Chodron



Tonglen

“We have many fleeting golden moments in our life, but we usually speed right past them. So the first part of the practice is to just stop, notice, and fully appreciate them.” – Pema Chödrön

This is Pema's book on tonglen, a meditative practice for cultivating love and compassion. Tonglen is a gentle, step-by-step process of opening the heart. By embracing, rather than rejecting, the unwanted and painful aspects of experience, we overcome fear and develop greater empathy for others. Here is a practical guide for deepening our practice and understanding of this powerful technique. Working with questions and answers, dialogue and exchange, Pema’s tonglen teachings provide an invaluable reference for practioners of all levels. Edited by Tingzin Otro.

Training as a Warrior

Wherever we are, we can train as a warrior. Our tools are sitting meditation, tonglen, slogan practice, and cultivating the four limitless qualities of loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. With the help of these practices, we will find the tenderness of bodhichitta in sorrow and in gratitude, behind the hardness of rage and in the shakiness of fear. In loneliness as well as in kindness, we can uncover the soft spot of basic goodness. But bodhichitta training offers no promise of happy endings. Rather, this “I” who wants to find security—who wants something to hold on to—will finally learn to grow up.

If we find ourselves in doubt that we’re up to being a warrior-in-training, we can contemplate this question: “Do I prefer to grow up and relate to life directly, or do I choose to live and die in fear?”

Comfortable with Uncertainty: 108 Teachings on Cultivating Fearlessness and Compassion by Pema Chödrön, pages 5–6


Practicing Peace

There are many stories, but the basic message I’m trying to convey is that if we want there to be peace in the world, then we have to take responsibility when our own hearts and minds harden and close. We have to be brave enough to soften what is rigid, to find the soft spot and stay with it. We have to have that kind of courage and take that kind of responsibility. That’s true spiritual warriorship. That’s the true practice of peace.

Practicing Peace by Pema Chödrön, page 23


Our Desire to Change

The problem is that the desire to change is fundamentally a form of aggression toward yourself. The other problem is that our hang-ups, unfortunately or fortunately, contain our wealth. Our neurosis and our wisdom are made out of the same material. If you throw out your neurosis, you also throw out your wisdom.

Nothing ever goes away

until it has taught us what we need to know. ==== Pema Chödrön


No Escape, No Problem

"We already have everything we need. There is no need for self-improvement. All these trips that we lay on ourselves—the heavy-duty fearing that we’re bad and hoping that we’re good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy and the addictions of all kinds—never touch our basic wealth. They are like clouds that temporarily block the sun. But all the time our warmth and brilliance are right here. This is who we really are. We are one blink of an eye away from being fully awake."

Start Where You Are www.shambhala.com/heartadvice


Meditation is about seeing clearly

the body that we have, the mind that we have, the domestic situation that we have, the job that we have, and the people who are in our lives. It's about seeing how we react to all these things. It's seeing our emotions and thoughts just as they are right now, in this very moment, in this very room, on this very seat. It's about not trying to make them go away, not trying to become better than we are, but just seeing clearly with precision and gentleness." --Pema Chödrön


What Is Freedom?

But it’s not impermanence per se, or even knowing we’re going to die, that is the cause of our suffering, the Buddha taught. Rather, it’s our resistance to the fundamental uncertainty of our situation. Our discomfort arises from all of our efforts to put ground under our feet, to realize our dream of constant okayness. When we resist change, it’s called suffering. But when we can completely let go and not struggle against it, when we can embrace the groundlessness of our situation and relax into its dynamic quality, that’s called enlightenment, or awakening to our true nature, to our fundamental goodness. Another word for this is freedom—freedom from struggling against the fundamental ambiguity of being human.

Living Beautifully with Uncertainty and Change by Pema Chödrön, pages 6–7

Das kartierte Gehirn

Samstag, 7. Juni, 8.30 Uhr SWR2 Wissen: Radio Akademie Das kartierte Gehirn Reihe: “Der vermessene Mensch” (6/12) Von Martin Hubert

Ist das Gehirn bald entzaubert? Supercomputer sollen in zehn Jahren im Human Brain Project der Europäischen Union ein ganzes Gehirn simulieren. In den USA und China sind ähnliche Projekte angelaufen. Versprochen wird ein riesiger Erkenntnisgewinn, so dass auch Krankheiten wie Alzheimer, Schizophrenie oder Depression besser behandelt werden können. Doch so leicht lässt sich das menschliche Gehirn dann doch nicht kartieren. Es erweist sich vielmehr als erstaunlich individuell. Kritiker bezweifeln daher, dass man psychische Veränderungen und Störungen bald aus den Windungen des Nervensystems ablesen kann.

Shortly after Alan Watts's death in 1973, his eldest daughters, Joan and Anne, began collecting boxes of his letters and correspondences. Though it took decades to publish, The Collected Letters of Alan Watts adds yet another piece to the vibrant extant literature of the great British philosopher and orator. Having recently met Joan at a conference and picking up this latest book, I decided it was time to thumb through the rest of my collection.

The meaning of life is

just to be alive. === It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves. — Alan Watts


We must abandon completely

the notion of blaming the past === for any kind of situation we’re in and reverse our thinking and see that the past always flows back form the present. That now is the creative point of life. — Alan Watts


Zen ist vor allen Dingen eine Erfahrung === und als solche nonverbal und einer rein literarischen und akademischen Vorgehensweise unzugänglich. Um zu verstehen was Zen ist – und vor allem auch was Zen nicht ist – muss man damit praktisch experimentieren, um die wirkliche Bedeutung, die den Worten unterliegt, zu entdecken. Alan Watts

“We are very good at preparing to live,

but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.” — Thich Nhat Hanh


"Public figures often express their concern

about the increasing levels of violence in our society. They're right; there is far too much violence in our families and our schools. Each politician may have ideas and insights about how to reduce violence. But instead of sharing ideas, politicians compete to have their own idea prevail. If instead, we can combine all our individual insights and experiences, we will arrive at a collective insight. If we are not capable of listening to our colleagues with an open heart simply because they belong to another political party - and we only consider ideas from our own party as worthwhile - we are harming the very foundation of democracy." Thich Nhat Hanh, Calming the Fearful Mind: A Zen Response to Terrorism


As a bee gathering nectar does not harm or disturb

the color & fragrance of the flower; so do the wise move through the world. Buddha

Rolf Elberfeld ist ein Glücksfall für eine Einführung in Zen – sei es als Meditationsform, Denkweise oder Lebensweg. Schon im Schüleraustausch in Sri Lanka beeindruckte ihn eine Begegnung mit einem buddhistischen Meister. Eigene theoretische und übersetzerische Beschäftigung kam hinzu. So kann er nun einen weiten Bogen schlagen: vom Handeln ohne zu Handeln über das Sein in Meditation (die er als »Anweisung für Achtsamkeitsübungen« bezeichnet), in Dichtung oder Teezeremonie bis hin zu hirnphysiologischen Forschungen in Bezug auf den besonderen Status des Meditierenden: »Sobald ich auch nur im Geringsten glaube, etwas erreicht zu haben, halte ich Bestimmtes fest und bin schon nicht mehr in der Übung.«

Early one very cold winter morning,

a monk arose, and being very cold, went to build a fire. Alas, all the firewood was gone. So he took one of the two life-sized wooden Buddhas in the temple and chopped it up, and made a fire and soon was made warm. In a little while, the master came into the temple and saw what had happened. Need I say he was upset? On and on he went about what the monk had done, for quite some time, as the fire gradually died. Finally, the monk interrupted him, saying, "Before you punish me, may I please examine the ashes for the crystals?" (For it was then believed that the holier the person cremated, the more crystals were formed in the funeral pyre.) "What?" bellowed the enraged master. "Fool monk! That's only a wooden statue, not a holy man."/ "Well then," replied the monk, "may I have the other statue? It is very cold this morning." Hearing this, the master was enlightened.

Silence is a source of great strength. - Lao Tsu

To use meditation as yet another external method to benefit our body is senseless.

This would involve wasting a technique of true, ultimate value on a vain attempt to gain relief that is at best temporary. Meditation would then be like the aspirin we take to be rid of a headache. The pain may go away, but that does not mean we are cured. After some time it will return because the method of treatment was unrelated to the real cause of the difficulty and thus any relief gained will necessarily be short-lived.

15 practical ways

Thay says we can take to bring mindfulness to our work:

1. Start your day with 10 minutes of sitting in meditation.

2. Take the time to sit down and enjoy eating breakfast at home.

3. Remind yourself every day of your gratitude for being alive and having 24 brand-new hours to live.

4. Try not to divide your time into "my time" and "work." All time can be your own time if you stay in the present moment and keep in touch with what’s happening in your body and mind. There’s no reason why your time at work should be any less pleasant than your time anywhere else.

5. Resist the urge to make calls on your cell phone while on your way to and from work, or on your way to appointments. Allow yourself this time to just be with yourself, with nature and with the world around you.

6. Arrange a breathing area at work where you can go to calm down, stop and have a rest. Take regular breathing breaks to come back to your body and to bring your thoughts back to the present.

7. At lunchtime, eat only your food and not your fears or worries. Don’t eat lunch at your desk. Change environments. Go for a walk.

8. Make a ritual out of drinking your tea. Stop work and look deeply into your tea to see everything that went into making it: the clouds and the rain, the tea plantations and the workers harvesting the tea.

9. Before going to a meeting, visualize someone very peaceful, mindful and skillful being with you. Take refuge in this person to help stay calm and peaceful.

10. If you feel anger or irritation, refrain from saying or doing anything straight away. Come back to your breathing and follow your in- and out-breath until you’ve calmed down.

11. Practice looking at your boss, your superiors, your colleagues or your subordinates as your allies and not as your enemies. Recognize that working collaboratively brings more satisfaction and joy than working alone. Know that the success and happiness of everyone is your own success.

12. Express your gratitude and appreciation to your colleagues regularly for their positive qualities. This will transform the whole work environment, making it much more harmonious and pleasant for everyone.

13. Try to relax and restore yourself before going home so you don’t bring accumulated negative energy or frustration home with you.

14. Take some time to relax and come back to yourself when you get home before starting on household chores. Recognize that multitasking means you’re never fully present for any one thing. Do one thing at a time and give it your full attention.

15. At the end of the day, keep a journal of all the good things that happened in your day. Water your seeds of joy and gratitude regularly so they can grow.

Thich Nhat Hanh "15 Practical Ways To Find Your Zen At Work"


Nan-in, ein japanischer Meister der Meiji-Zeit

(1868 bis 1912), empfing den Besuch eines Universitätsprofessors, der etwas über Zen erfahren wollte. Nan-in servierte Tee. Er goß die Tasse seines Besuchers voll und hörte nicht auf weiterzugießen. Der Professor beobachtete das Überlaufen, bis er nicht mehr an sich halten konnte. "Es ist übervoll. Mehr geht nicht hinein!" "So wie diese Tasse", sagte Nan-in, "sind auch Sie voll mit Ihren eigenen Meinungen und Spekulationen. Wie kann ich Ihnen Zen zeigen, bevor Sie Ihre Tasse geleert haben?"

We are living in a culture

entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infintesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future.

We have no present.

Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is. We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.”

-- Alan Watts

Besonderheit der afrikanischen Sprache Suaheli

// In seiner Predigt bei einer Trauung erzählte der Pfarrer von einer Besonderheit der afrikanischen Sprache Suaheli: Es gibt kein Wort für «haben» im Sinn von «besitzen». Im Gegensatz zu dem vor ihm sitzenden Bräutigam könne ein afrikanischer Mann dieser Sprachgruppe daher niemals sagen: «Ich habe eine Frau.» Er wird immer sagen: «Ich lebe mit einer Frau.» Ebenso wenig würde er sagen: «Ich habe ein Haus.» Sondern: «Ich lebe in einem Haus.» So besitzt er auch kein Feld, keinen Hund, keinen Ochsen – er lebt damit. Ich war fasziniert, wollte mehr darüber erfahren … // Mehr kann man hier lesend in unserer Juni-Kolumne erfahren: www.a-tempo.de/article.php?i=201806&c=4

Zen for Nothing - Film

http://www.lichtburg-essen.de/film_zen_for_nothing.php

Regisseur und Kameramann Werner Penzel begleitet in dem Film die junge Schweizerin Sabine Timoteo in ruhigen und fein komponierten Bildern während ihres Aufenthaltes in Antaiji. Über Frühjahr, Herbst und Winter tauchen wir ein in das Abenteuer klösterlichen Lebens, das aus Zazen-Meditation und der Arbeit zur Selbstversorgung besteht.

Vor Vorstellungsbeginn entführt der Klangkünstler Marc Iwaszkiewicz (www.traumkraft.de) die Zuschauer mit traditionellen Instrumenten in die Welt der Meditationsmusik und im Anschluss des Films wird Regisseur und Kameramann Werner Penzel über die Dreharbeiten im Kloster Antaiji berichten und dem Publikum für Fragen zur Verfügung stehen.

In diesem Dokumentarfilm reist die in Bern lebende Schauspielerin Sabine Timoteo nach Japan, lediglich begleitet von Regisseur Werner Penzel (“Step Across the Border, Lucie et maintenant“). Dort verbringt sie einige Monate (Herbst 2013 – Frühjahr 2014) im kleinen Zen Kloster “Antaiji“. Das an der Westküste gelegene Kloster ist jedoch nicht das Ziel ihrer Reise, sondern deren Anfang.

Unter Abt Muho Nölke, einem gebürtigen Berliner, und dem Zen-Meisters Kodo Sawaki lernt sie dort, wie die japanische Philosophie sich im Alltag widerspiegelt. Inmitten der grünen Wälder des kleinen Ortes bekommt sie nun Einblicke in den Zen-Buddhismus und lernt das klösterliche Leben kennen.

Wenn wir unsere Energie daran verschwenden, == uns selbst zu hassen, wird sich nichts ändern. Wenn Hoffnung zu schwierig zu handhaben ist, dann können wir uns wenigstens um uns selbst kümmern. An meinen dunkelsten Tagen erinnere ich mich an die Worte der Poetin und Aktivistin Audre Lorde, die viel über das Überleben in einer unmenschlichen Welt wusste, und die schrieb:

"Selbstsorge ist kein überflüssiger Luxus, es ist Selbsterhaltung, und die ist ein Mittel politischer Kriegsführung."

Everything comes from mind, by Bodhidharma

... as they’re attached to appearances, they’re unaware that their minds are empty. And by mistakenly clinging to the appearance of things they lose the Way. If you know that everything comes from the mind, don’t become attached. Once attached, you’re unaware. But once you see your own nature, the entire Canon becomes so much prose. Its thousands of sutras and shastras only amount to a clear mind. Understanding comes in mid-sentence. What good are doctrines? The ultimate Truth is beyond words. Doctrines are words They’re not the Way. The Way is wordless. Words are illusions. They’re no different from things that appear in your dreams at night, be they palaces or carriages, forested parks or lakeside pavilions. Don’t conceive any delight for such things. They’re all cradles of rebirth. Keep this in mind when you approach death. Don’t cling to appearances, and you’ll break through all barriers. A moment’s hesitation and you’ll be under the spell of devils. Your real body is pure and impervious. But because of delusions you’re unaware of it. And because of this you suffer karma in vain. Wherever you find delight, you find bondage. But once you awaken to your original body and mind, you’re no longer bound by attachments. Anyone who gives up the transcendent for the mundane, in any of its myriad forms, is a mortal. A buddha is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad.

20 Rules Of Life

Written By A Japanese Samurai 400 Years Ago That May Change Your Life

Each person walks the lifepath alone.

Each person’s life is very different. No two can compare.

But a Japanese Buddhist claims that there are 20 rules we must all follow to lead a happy and fulfilled life. Mere weeks before he died, Miyamoto Musashi, created a list of the main rules he lived by. Born in 1584, he was an expert swordsman, a renowned warrior and his teachings are still studied today, but most importantly, his rules for life are incredibly inspirational. According to his text, ‘The Way of Walking Alone’ this is how we must all live our lives.


1. LEARN TO ACCEPT LIFE AS IT COMES

For the sake of mental health, you must accept the life you are given. Stress, anxiety, and despair are natural parts of a person’s life, and it should never be attacked. Acceptance of the most difficult aspects of life will make you stronger to their advances.

2. ABANDON ANY OBSESSION TO ACHIEVE PLEASURE

As humans, we spend a lot of time chasing down pleasure – we give in to our cravings, reach higher for promotions and raises, and have become part of a society obsessed with sexual pleasure. Musashi claimed we should try simply to live life in the moment and enjoy pleasure when it comes to us naturally instead of striving for it.

3. DO NOT ACT ON AN IMPULSIVE EMOTION

We are often told to follow our heart, but Musashi’s teachings suggest this is never a good idea. When faced with a feeling that seems to have come from nowhere, following its path can lead to bad decisions. It is advised that we stick with what we know for sure, and don’t give way to impulse.

4. DO NOT OBSESS OVER YOURSELF

Self-obsession is common in humanity. These days, we are so focused on online presence, taking a perfect selfie and striving for perfection, that we forget what matters in life. Strive to separate from yourself and your ego for a better perception of what is important.

5. NEVER ALLOW JEALOUSY TO RULE YOUR LIFE

Jealousy is a very strong form of hatred, and Musashi claimed that getting stuck in its grasp would ruin you. He said never to be jealous of others, and to simply be thankful for what you yourself have.

6. ABANDON ATTACHMENT TO DESIRE

In the same way as achieving pleasure, desire only makes us want for things we may never gain. The idea proposed was to live not wanting more than you have, and to wait for good things to come to you.

7. NEVER LIVE IN REGRET

As we often tell each other, the past cannot be changed. Musashi believed that everything happened for a reason, and it was all part of your path in life. Dwelling on things you once did could never change them.

8. DO NOT DWELL ON A SAD SEPARATION

Constantly thinking on a sad parting of friends or family prevents us from moving on and continuing our lives. Musashi thought that since there was no way to bring back the dead, they should be left behind in the past.

9. COMPLAINING SHOULD HAVE NO PLACE IN YOUR LIFE

Many of us find comfort in complaining when things go wrong, but according to Musashi’s teachings, we should simply let these things pass us by. Dwelling on what is going wrong only prolongs the past’s hold over your life.

10. DON’T LET LUST RULE YOUR LIFE

Humans are sexual beings by nature, and so many people waste their lives on lustful thoughts. Musashi thought we should instead strive for love and lasting relationships.

11. KEEP YOUR OPTIONS OPEN

Do not rule out matters of the future with closed off thoughts. Keep your options wide open to allow for the best opportunities to come your way.

12. DON’T BE A SLAVE TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS

Possessions and a luxurious home may seem important, but there are more important things to treasure in life. Love, health, and life itself should be treasured above all else in the world.

13. LEARN NOT TO BE GLUTTONOUS

We as a society obsess over food and the pleasures of fine dining, or even just a good takeaway. However, Musashi believed that we shouldn’t take so much pleasure in eating, and we should strip meals down to be filling, but not necessarily tasty.

14. ABANDON POSSESSIONS IN FAVOR OF MINIMALISM

Don’t hold on to things you don’t need anymore, in other words. If it once was important, it can still be cast aside now to live a pure and simple life.

15. DO NOT BELIEVE SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE TOLD TO

Allow your own thoughts and beliefs to have space. Don’t just follow the crowd and listen to other’s opinions. Form your own ideas.

16. RESPECT THE GODS, BUT DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON THEIR GUIDANCE

Gods should be looked up to, but they cannot lead you through every motion. They need to be a figure of guidance, but in the end, a person must make their own path.

17. HAVE NO FEAR OF DYING

Fearing death only prevents you from living life to the full. Live each day individually and do not fear the consequences of each action.

18. DO NOT USE WEAPONRY UNLESS IT IS NECESSARY

Despite Musashi’s fame with a sword, he still believed that weaponry should be used sparingly and only when needed. He claimed that defending yourself was okay, but enforcing attack without reason was a sin.

19. DO NOT PUT PRESSURE ON RETIRING WITH RICHES

Many of us save for our retirement age so that we can live a life of luxury, but The Way of Walking Alone claimed we do not need possessions to live happily. Again, it was suggested we should live in the moment and not chase happiness in the form of possessions.

20. ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR HONOR

Musashi claimed that the only way to be true to yourself was to follow your own beliefs and live life as honorably as you know how to.

The text is full of inspirational information. Musashi lived a full, incredible life and to follow his rules seems like a way to achieve the same satisfaction. Though some of his ideas have been branded as crazy, far-fetched and nonsensical if he achieved happiness, who are we to question his practices?
