Musashi: ZEN and Sword


If you say the right word,
your karma will vanish.

If you say the wrong word,
my sword will cut your ego.

Cutting from emptiness,
giving life from luminosity.

You can not escape my cut:
mushotoku cut.

Nobody can defeat me:
there is nobody to be defeated .

I preach awakening and peace,
that´s why I wear two swords.

I could turn into a monk,
but this would not be appropriate

No fear.
Only luminous emptiness.
