Zen Creed of the Samurai

I have no parents; I make heaven and earth my parents.
I have no divine power; I make honesty my power.
I have no means; I make submission my means.
I have no magic power; I make inward strength my magic.
I have no friends; I make my mind my friend.
I have no enemy; I make incautiousness my enemy.
I have no armor; I make goodwill and righteousness my armor.
I have no castle; I make
immovable Mind my castle.



The Samurai’s Zen Creed
