あまりに大きな山の麓にいると，そこに山があることに気がつかない。あまりにも大きな島に住んでいれば，自分が島に住んでいることを忘れる。同じく，とてつもなく強い人は，その強さに誰も気がつかない。限りなく思いやりの深い人は，その思いやりに誰も気づかない。本当の強さや思いやりを持つ人は，山や島のように，それを決して自ら誇示しないからだ。まるで空気のように，自然にそこに存在する。武の人は，そうやって静かに人々の役に立つ。
When you are at the base of an extremely big mountain, you are not aware that the mountain is there. When you live on an enormously big island, you forget that you live on the island. Similarly, concerning a mighty strong person, no one can notice that he/she is strong. Concerning an infinitely compassionate person, no one can notice that he/she is compassionate. It is because truly strong and compassionate persons never display their strength and compassion, like mountains and islands. They exist there naturally like air. In that way, people of martial arts quietly serve for others.
