Economy is the basis of society. When the economy is stable, society develops. The ideal economy combines the spiritual and the material, and the best commodities to trade in are sincerity and love.

A good stance and posture reflect a proper state of mind.

All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together.

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.

Failure is the key to success; each mistake teaches us something.

There are no contests in the Art of Peace. A true warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing. Defeat means to defeat the mind of contention that we harbor within.

Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.

To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury is the Art of Peace.

When an opponent comes forward, move in and greet him; if he wants to pull back, send him on his way.

Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead.

The purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body, and polish the spirit.

When life is victorious, there is birth; when it is thwarted, there is death. A warrior is always engaged in a life-and-death struggle for Peace.

Do not look upon this world with fear and loathing. Bravely face whatever the gods offer.

Always keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky, the great ocean, and the highest peak, empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment.
