世界はタオに従っている。タオとは自然そのもののことであり，天も地も人もすべて自然に従っている。これに気づき，ありのままにあろうとするのが，タオの人であり，禅の人でもある。武道家であれば，その身法も心法も，自然に逆らわず，ありのままに在ろうとする。無理に抗すれば勝つどころか負ける。だから勝たないようにしつつ負けないようにする。我々凡夫は，つい勝とう勝とうとする。武道家は，勝ち負けを越えて大いなる自然に従う。
The world depends on the Tao. The Tao means the nature itself, and then the heaven, the earth, and the people all depend on the nature. It is people of the Tao, or people of Zen who try to be aware of this fact and be as they are. Budo-ka would try to be not against the nature and be as they are in terms of both physical and mental skills. If we were forcibly against anything, we would lose rather than win. Therefore, we should aim at not losing as well as not winning. We, as ordinary people, always can't help trying to win. Budo-ka would depends on the great nature beyond winning or losing.
