lancelot, your best bet is a company called kodansha international, it may be printed as part of another cool though, william scott wilson has done a lot of japanese classics for them, so they would be my first port of call, jay

I’d really like to know where you found this book. I’d like to find a printed version of possible.
I need two copies so that I can keep one & give one away as a gift.

I do believe that what Miyamoto is trying to say in the 19th item is that we should believe in Supreme Being/s that govern ourlives but we shouldn’t be dependent on Them but rather we should also work for ourselves. Meaning, if you wanna eat you pray, but you should find something to eat as well. Don’t wait for God to drop a half pounder burger and fries from heaven for you. Right??

fear of death, fear of life, fear of the unknown… FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR! Fear comes from what MAY happen whether it can or can’t, will or won’t happen. Fear can drive people to do things they wouldn’t normally do, but it’s still their choice to do it. they’re responsible for whet they do, no matter what excuses made up for them.
When you remove the fear, and only then may you live in the present.

All of what is written here is very interesting. I hope that more will be said about these subjects later.

Most people fear death. But even above that they fear the unknown – what MIGHT happen.
Good instincts there kelly

I’m thinking that #13 means that you shouldn’t pursue the things that you like but treat all things as equal. That whether or not you like it it may or may not be the best choice, you may like to eat ice-cream but don’t you think fruit or something else you can get might be more healthy? Why satisfy your tastes with ice-cream when you can fill your stomach with the food you have within your hands?

I wholly agree with Samuel Wright.

musashi was a warrior, he put his life on the line almost constantly, and in being close to death in that way, learnt what life is really all about. I.ll say it again, this piece is about attachment, don’t fix your mind on only one way of doing, or seeing things, and you’ll be free to act appropriately in any situation. Read between the lines people, and don’t get angry that i’m saying most of you are way off the mark, because that would be attachment! Lol!

I have always had a problem with the contemporary concept of regret. To not have regrets in life can only be suggestive of two possibilities.
1) You took far too few risks in life so that you have made no mistakes.
2) You are intellectually incapable of comprehending the events of your life and while you have experienced it you have learned nothing from it.

I am not sure what is worse? Basically your either stupid or a chicken. I have lots of things I regret and wish I had done differently. But I also lived life, made mistakes and learned from them. Should I get the chance to do it again, I would do some things differently. How sad a life for one to be able to say “I have no regrets.” Or how sad to hear that one is so short on intellect that they cannot recognize them.
