強風も暴風雨もやがて去るように，自然は常に変化している。そこに人為の力は一切及ばない。そうしてすべてがタオに従っているとすれば，強引に何かを為そう，思い通りに変えようとしても，うまくいくことはない。むしろ，あるがままに観察しつつ，流れの中で流れに乗り，抗うことなくただ在り続ける。それはまさにマインドフルな在り方であり，武術の極意はそこにある。敵もまた自然の一部であり，その荒ぶる身も心もまた自然の一部である。
As strong wind as well as rainstorm eventually will be gone, nature is always changing. It is entirely beyond the control of human beings. If everything follows the Tao in such a way, nothing will go well when you attempt to do something by force or change something as you want. Rather, it is better that you should observe the situation as it is, ride on the flow, and keep just being there with no resistance. That is exactly a state being mindful, and the secrets of martial arts are there. Enemies are also the part of nature, and their savage body and mind are too.
