Some people believe that \u2018budo\u2019 requires a willingness to die for your country or another person, but I don\u2019t believe it has to do with death or how you die. It is more like a way of life that incorporates how you will die. I think someone who declares \u201cI would die for my country or organization\u201d is more into the entertainment, the drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the purpose of \u2018budo\u2019 is about how you can help others, how you contribute to others. Budo is equal to helping someone. You can\u2019t help people if you die. If you write \u2018budo\u2019 in the Japanese way, \u2018bu\u2019 can be interpreted as stop the spear or stop the halberd, and \u2018do\u2019 is, of course, the way. I interpret it to mean stopping someone\u2019s negative emotions, such as fear, anger, upset, frustration. You try to stop harm coming to another human being.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From: \u201cMind And Body &#8211; Like Bullet, Memoirs Of A Life In The Martial Arts\u201d, by Yutaka Yaguchi &amp; Catherine Pinch, \u00a9 2008<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"apf_post_footer\"><h4>Related Articles:<\/h4>\n<ul><li class=\"apf_footer\"><a href=\"http:\/\/reinhardkargl.com\/iBlog\/?p=3224\">Healing Ailments<\/a><\/li><li class=\"apf_footer\"><a href=\"http:\/\/reinhardkargl.com\/iBlog\/?p=3217\">In Memory Of Shihan Yutaka Yaguchi (November 14, 1932 \u2013 October 26, 2023)<\/a><\/li><li class=\"apf_footer\"><a href=\"http:\/\/reinhardkargl.com\/iBlog\/?p=2766\">Extract From A Letter By Thomas Jefferson To Charles Yancey<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I am not sure if I can ever master the five principles of the &#8216;dojo kun&#8217;, but I try each day.
