The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow.
You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter. – Morihei Ueshiba
Sensei, I think this is as wonderful as any quotation O’sensei has ever made. His clear understanding that our spirits will lead us to some purpose. Follow it, train it, nuture it and watch it grow into your joyful work.
Hai, so desu! Imagine a world where we all strived to do something like this. “The Art of Peace” is a book I highly recommend to all people regardless of art!
It is about how we should all conduct yourselves.
