More From Miyamoto Musashi

When we say, "i take refuge in the buddha," we should also understand that "the buddha takes refuge in me," because without the second part the first part is not complete. the buddha needs us for awakening, understanding, and love to be real things and not just concepts. they must be real things that have real effects on life. whenever i say, "i take refuge in the buddha," i hear "the buddha takes refuge in me."
Real Understanding And Love

Who's counting? it was, of course, the minority who were counting. it always is. most of the women i know today would dearly like to use their fingers and toes for some activity more enthralling than counting. they have been counting for so long. but the peculiar problem of the new math is that every time we stop adding, somebody starts subtracting. at the very least (the advanced students will understand this) the rate of increase slows. ... the minority members of any group or profession have two answers: they can keep score or they can lose.
Math Two Long
When i said that i am the buddha, the christ, the lord maitreya, and more, it was not a question of superiority or inferiority. i added that phrase 'and more' very carefully, because i knew that people had a very limited understanding of the buddha and the christ, and hence if i said: 'i am the christ, the buddha', they would limit that reality to their own conceptions of the buddha or the christ, and life has no limit.
Reality People Understanding
How come people always flip and think they're jesus? why not buddha? particularly in america, where more people resemble buddha than jesus. 'ah'm buddha!' 'you're bubba!' 'ah'm buddha now..all i gotta do is change 3 letters on ma belt.

The gods have fled, i know. my sense is the gods have always been essentially absent. i do not believe human beings have played games or sports from the beginning merely to summon or to please or to appease the gods. if anthropologists and historians believe that, it is because they believe whatever they have been able to recover about what humankind told the gods humankind was doing. i believe we have played games, and watched games, to imitate the gods, to become godlike in our worship of eachother and, through those moments of transmutation, to know for an instant what the gods know.
