Seven Principles of Bushido
Bushido, the Way of the Samurai, grew
out of the fusion of Buddhism and Shintoism. It's truths have
grown beyond the religions they have grown from, and can be adopted
into any philosophy.Bushido
can be summarized in seven essential principles:
- Gi: the right decision,
taken with equanimity, the right attitude, the truth. When we
must die, we must die. Rectitude.
- Yu: bravery tinged with
heroism.
- Jin: universal love,
benevolence toward mankind; compassion.
- Rei: right action--a most
essential quality, courtesy.
- Makoto: utter sincerity;
truthfulness.
- Chugo: devotion, loyalty.
- Meiyo: honor and glory.
These are the seven principles
underlying the spirit of Bushido, and thus the core of all
traditional martial arts:
