"Those who march with us will certainly face abuse, misunderstanding, bitter animosity, and possibly the ferocity of struggle and of danger. In return, we can only offer to them the deep belief that they are fighting that a great land may live."

-SIR OSWALD MOSLEY

“We are our ancestors, our masters, our elders. We are our books, our paintings, our statues, our landscapes.”

— Charles Maurras

A young man named Yamaoka Tesshu, studying Zen, visited one master after another. He also came to Dokuon from Shikoku. Eager to show his accomplishments, he said:

- Both mind and Buddha and all sentient beings are ultimately non-existent. The true nature of phenomena is Emptiness. There is neither realization nor delusion, neither sage nor mediocrity. There is neither reward nor gain.

Dokuon, who had been quietly listening, remained silent. Suddenly he tapped Yamaoka hard with his bamboo stick. The young man became very angry.
- If nothing exists, Dokuon asked,
- where did this anger come from?

“Knowing that mentality, taking straightforwardness as basic, taking the real mind as the Way, practicing martial arts in the broadest sense, thinking correctly, clearly, and comprehensively, taking emptiness as the Way, you see the Way as emptiness. In emptiness there is good but no evil. Wisdom exists, logic exists, the Way exists, mind is empty.”

Miyamoto Musashi | The Book of Five Rings.

Don’t let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole. Don’t try to picture everything bad that could possibly happen. Stick with the situation at hand, and ask, “Why is this so unbearable? Why can’t I endure it?” You’ll be embarrassed to answer. Then remind yourself that past and future have no power over you. Only the present—and even that can be minimized. Just mark off its limits.

Marcus Aurelius,
