“The primary thing when you take a sword in your hands is your intention to cut the enemy, whatever the means. Whenever you parry, hit, spring, strike or touch the enemy's cutting sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement. It is essential to attain this." “Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.” “Not only must a warrior be strong with his bow, but he must have a heart full of pity for all living creatures.” These words are not the only things your master left you.
