On Kendo

There was once a meeting about a martial artist and a professor. They met for tea one day and decided to discuss about the martial arts. The martial artist explained the concept of Zen to the professor. However the professor, having his own views, argued about everything the martial artist was trying to teach.

The martial artist, later poured tea for the professor. Even though the cup was already full he kept pouring until the professor stoped him.

The professor asked why the martial artist did not stop pouring even though it was already full. The martial artist replied "Your mind is this cup. How can it contain more things when it is already full? How can you learn new things when you do not want to change what you alrady knew?"

Knowing Your Enermy Is Wisdom.
Knowing Yourself Is Enlightenment.

Always Think Of The Things At Hand.
For The Past Dilute The Present And The Future Clouds It.

Meaning, mistakes from the past will trouble you and thinking of the future will divert your attention on what you need to do now.

People That Win Often Do Not Get The Chance To Learn.
It Is The Ones That Lose That Learn.
