(aka “Dokkodo”, excerpted from History Channel’s “Samurai”, with Mark Dascoscas)

Do not turn your back on the various ways of this world.

Do not scheme for physical pleasure.

Do not intend to rely on anything.

Consider yourself lightly. Consider the world deeply.

Do not ever think in acquisitive terms.

Do not regret things about your personal life.

Do not lament parting on any road whatsoever.

Though you give up your life, do not give up your honor.

Even thought it is a path of one thousand miles, you walk one step at a time.
Consider this well.

– Miyamoto Musashi
