WORDS OF O-SENSEI
 
 
"All things, material and spiritual, are originated from one only source and are related as if they were one family. The pass, the present and the future are contained in the vital force. The Universe emerged and was developed from one only source, and we evolve though the optimal process of unification and harmonization."

"Even when called out by a single foe, remain on guard, for you are always surrounded by a host of enemies."
