SPECIAL EVENTS


In the martial arts, it is a sickness if you do not leave the mind of the martial arts behind. In archery it is a sickness if you do not leave the mind of archery behind. If you will only use your Ordinary Mind and take up the sword or draw the bow, archery will not be difficult and the sword will be used with freedom. Not being surprised by anything, the Ordinary Mind will be good for everything.
