豪勢なものを食べ，高価なものを身につけ，たくさんの物を手に入れ，誰とでも明るく社交的に振る舞い，てきぱきと仕事をして，他人から高く評価される。人間社会でそれらはいずれも善である。しかし逆は必ずしも悪ではない。むしろ，物を求めたり，人に気を使ったり，評価にこだわったりしない方が，それだけ苦しみも減る。マインドフルに何にも囚われず，タオとつながってただありのままに在る。武道家は，武術稽古を通して，そこに至ろうとする。
Eating luxurious foods, dressing up with something expensive, obtaining a lot, communicating with everyone brightly and sociably, working quickly, and being highly evaluated by others; these are all good in our human society. But, the opposites are not necessarily bad. Rather, the more you do not seek for material things, pay attention to others, nor put much value on appraisals, the more sufferings will be reduced. It is important to be free from anything in a mindful way, and be with the Tao just as you are. Budo-ka is trying to reach the state through the practice of martial arts.
