The Budo embraces honor, peace and states as its directive to avoid
confrontation. The Art of Budo has strong spiritual tradition
of developing ones mind, spirit and body.
Historically Budo has been practiced in conjunction with the spiritual art
of
Buddhism. However, not every Budo student will receive the awakening of
enlightenment. For the student whom lacks the
spiritual and moral resolve will not discover the awaking of the Buddha spirit. The Buddhist nature of spirit can not be
defined nor gained by verbalizations, power, or wealth.
Once the student of Budo consciousness/ego understands this, it can
begin the awakening of emptiness which will lead to the path and the discovery
of buddha, free moral choice. During this discovery
the Budo student becomes aware of ones chi energy in every fiber of his being.
Bodhidharma has always emphasized the importance
of the development
ones chi. Chi exercises are used to strengthen/enhance ones body
and spirit. The exercises were also
practiced to achieve harmony between the mental and physical spirit. I t is through this disciplined training that
the Budo
student discovers the peace and power of emptiness.
Ultimately hoping to achieve the enlightenment, the aura of peace and harmony.
It
is students restraint over excess, and the pursuit of simplicity that creates an awareness of the Buddhisms spirit within the
Budo.
The beauty of everyday life, for the Budo student who has reach enlightenment, is that daily experiences are now
transformation into training lesson of the virtues of Buddha. Understanding the enlightenment
of Buddhism in everyday affairs helps
the Budo student to live every moment in a peaceful way. This liberation allows the students spiritual nature
the understanding
of peace. This liberation teaches the student to view
the larger picture of ones life, thus gaining a greater understanding of ones surroundings:
Spirituality Nature / Identity of happiness is a peaceful experience within ones life. It is calming enlightenment that
can be developed and integrated into daily life, by any one who accepts / realizes their own responsibility for their future
happiness.
It is within the experience of peace and happiness, ones is enlightened
and empower by their own spiritual wisdom.
By understanding that ones past actions and decision have created these present experiences.
One empowers them selves as they create
there future happiness.
You are responsible for your lifes past and future endeavors.
But for some egos control is to over whelming.
It is at that moment
of self realization, at the cusp of escaping egos unwillingness to relinquish control.
Ego desperately banters
about exploiting ones darkest exhalations attempting to define, classify, rank, and discredit the spiritual nature
and
happiness one would like to enjoy.. During this developing quagmire
it is important for ones conscious mind not looses its
ability to discover spiritual fulfillment. So as one can see. Happiness is truly a personal experience.
What is Spirituality
Identity / happiness?
When I think of the Spiritual Nature of happiness, I think of humanities profound capacity to love,
to empathize, to pursue justice, to nderstand,
and to yearn for the creation of peace.
Some individuals may express spiritually
as: a journey of ones life,
a destination, a road that must be traveled, An experience of thought
and the understanding of ones
self. It is the pursuit of mental calmness, and the discovery of happiness. It is the state of humbleness,
as one shares
anothers pain and aspirations. It is as common as the air we breath, the water we drink, and the food that we eat. For some it is
the void that precedes the attachment of ones own thoughts. It is the shadow that hides within the darkness. It is the clarity
of the ray of light that has not been realized. Or perhaps a reverence to god, life, and liberty
Seek within. You are the answer!!
Honor, benevolence, honesty, respect, peace, love, and living a virtuous life are the most essential aspects of the liberation. Removing
the spiritually
of Buddha from Budo can only lead to violence. I t is the union of the inner spirit and the development of the physical
body that separates an enlightened person from the unknowing. The union also helps the student discover ones inner peace and
self control
So enlightenment helps to clarify the spiritual nature of both resistance
and violence. While providing the spirit with
the means to pursue harmony, and enabling the body to protect ones self.
The spiritual nature, the essences, of the Budo is peace,
harmony with ones surroundings, and the avoidance of confrontation. However, if one can not avoid the
impending violence of an opponent,
the preferred response is to stop the action with redirection of the aggression
