The Art of Peace #41

The Art of Peace is the principle of nonresistance.
Because it is nonresistant, it is victorious from the very beginning.
Those with evil intentions or contentious thoughts are instantly vanquished.
The Art of Peace is invincible because it contends with nothing.

There are no contests in The Art of Peace.
A true Warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing.
Defeat means to defeat the mind of contention that we harbour within.

To injure an opponent is to injure yourself.
To control aggression, without inflicting injury is The Art of Peace.
