• Zen, like life, defies exact definition, but its essence is the experience, moment by moment, of our own existence -- a natural, spontaneous encounter, unclouded by the suppositions and expectations that come between us and reality. It is, if you like, a paring down of life until we see it as it really is, free from our illusions; it is merely a divestment of ourselves until we recognize our own true nature.

• We live in a supermarket of ideas, faiths, practices, theories, ideologies, and much else besides. Never in human history have there been so many movements and ideas struggling to attract our attention. Added to this, the Western world is swamped by material goods and the Western mind is dominated by the goal of material success. In all this confusion, Zen stands out as a voice of sanity. It represents a different way of seeing the world, one based upon the rediscovery of who we really are and have always been, through revealing to us our true nature.

• En su forma pura, las artes marciales exigen la conciencia intensa de la mente meditativa, y no tienen nada que ver con la ira o la agresión gratuita. Al practicante se le enseña desde el principio que las habilidades nunca deben usarse para beneficio personal, sino sólo en defensa propia o para proteger a otros, e incluso entonces sólo debe emplearse la fuerza absolutamente necesaria.
