Book of the Samurai

Martial Arts - Book of the Samurai

Although it stands to reason that a samurai should be mindful of the Way of the Samurai, it would seem that we are

all negligent. Consequently, if someone were to ask, "What is the true meaning of the Way of the Samurai?" the

person who would be able to answer promptly is rare. This is because it has not been established in one's mind

beforehand. From this, one's unmindfulness of the Way can be known.

Negligence is an extreme thing.
