After Reading Lao Tsu: Chapter 40 老子:第四〇章を読んで

例えば広く仏教には数多くの経典や修行法や瞑想法があるが,一つの在り方として,究極的にはただ坐るところに行き着く。ただそこに坐るだけである。同様に広く空手にも数多くの形(型)があるが,究極的には,那覇手ならサンチン,首里手ならナイファンチに行き着く。サンチンとナイファンチをただひたすら練るだけである。そして武術家は,練れば練るほど弱く柔らかくなる。だから本当に強い武術家は,争いに縁がない。

For example, there are a lot of scriptures, cultivating methods, and meditations in various kinds of Buddhism. But, as one of Buddhists' ways to be as they are, ultimately, practitioners of Buddhism come to just sitting. They just sit there. In the same way, there are also a lot of Katas in various schools of karate, ultimately, practitioners of Naha-te come to Sanchin, while those of Shuri-te come to Naifanchi. They entirely practice only Sanchin and Naifanchi. Then, the more these martial artists practice, the weaker and softer they become. Therefore, martial artists who are truly strong have nothing to do with conflicts.
