Today's Tao
A true samurai doesn't fight. (Ch.68)
It is as clear as day.
If you don't fight, you will never be defeated.
The noun "samurai" came from the verb "saburau", which meant "to wait on" in the senses of "to attend or serve" and "to pay a respectful visit to".
A true samurai doesn't fight.
Or, at least, he does not look for a fight.
If it is inevitable to fight, he accept it.
He does not fight against fighting, either.
He does not fight against his hologram.
He knows that his act, the body, the enemy, and the fight itself are manifestations of Buddha (=Tao).
