タオの人は結果を誇らない。禅の人は結果にこだわらない。勝ち負けにこだわり，勝つことを強く求め，得られればそれを誇る人は，タオの人でも禅の人でもない。だから，真に武道家であれば，仮に試合をして勝っても，強さを誇示することなど全く論外である。勝ちに喜び，負けに悔やむのはスポーツである。タオや禅の実践である武道とは，勝ち負けといった価値を超えたところに行く道である。結果にこだわり，結果を誇る人は，そこまでの人でしかない。
People of the Tao are not proud of their results. People of Zen are not caught up in their results. It is not people of the Tao or Zen who are caught up in winning or losing, desire to win, and are proud of the winning. Therefore, if a person thinks of himself/herself as a real Budo-ka, it never happens that he/she shows off his/her strength when he/she wins a game of martial arts. It happens in sports that people feel delighted with winning and bad about losing. Budo, which is a practice of the Tao or Zen, is a path to transcend the value judgment of winning or losing. Individuals who are caught up in and proud of their results are nothing more than that.
