Musashi: Wrath and Tengu


Riding on your back,
flying in the dark sky,
I can break the fetters
of ignorance and pain.

Take me to the mountain,
to the mountain of clarity,
where I can stand by the pillar,
by the pillar of rigour.

Now you are one with me,
I am one with you;
your sharp fangs of compassion,
suck the suffering of demons.

Let´s take a blissful ride,
around this world of confusion,
and bite the fortunate ones
craving for satori.

We will use the sword of wisdom
to cut the throat of ignorance.
We will show the entrance
to the sound of silence.

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.
