The Tao is connected to everyone and everything. Both good and evil people are connected to the Tao. The point to separate good and evil people is whether they realize they are connected to the Tao or not. Similarly, Buddha-nature exists in everyone and everything. The point to separate awakened and ordinary ones is whether they realize they have Buddha-nature within themselves or not. But, if any of us does not continue to practice Taoism or Buddhism, he/she will lost sight of the Tao or Buddha-nature within him/her. Budo-ka continue to practice it as "sacred treasure" carefully and mindfully through the training of martial arts.

After Reading Lao Tsu: Chapter 62 老子:第六二章を読んで
タオは,あらゆる人,あらゆるものとつながっている。善人も悪人も,タオとつながっている。善人と悪人を分けるのは,タオとつながっていることを知っているかどうかである。同様に,あらゆる人,あらゆるものに仏は宿っている。仏陀と凡夫を分けるのは,仏が宿っていることを知っているかどうかである。ただ,タオも仏も,実践し続けなければ見失ってしまう。武道家は,武術稽古によって,「貴き宝」であるそれを丁寧に大切に実践し続ける。
