The Warrior Precepts
1. A warrior, once a warrior, will always be a warrior.
2. A warrior is the epitome of controlled compassion and controlled
violence.
3. A warrior speaks from the pure heart and mind, transcending the ego.
4. A warrior is one of great discipline.
5. A warrior is a man of few words, refraining from speaking without reason.
6. A warrior has not the luxury for excuses.
7. A warrior recognizes the differences between the meaningful and trivial.
8. A warrior can never afford fear, he lives in poverty of fear.
9. A warrior learns how to defend before the attack.
10. A warrior continues to develop the skills of his trade without end.
11. A warrior seeks unity of mind, body, and spirit.
12. A warrior understands the merits of compassion.
13. A warrior pursues a knowledge of all things, regardless of nature.
14. A warrior's profession is war, his product is peace.
15. A warrior integrates the practice of truth within all his day to day
activities.
16. A warrior sees the truth within himself, within his adversaries, within
the world.
17. A warrior is not separate from all things, but strives to flow as one
with all things.
18. A warrior is as water taking the shape of its container.
19. A warrior places the lives of those innocent and weak above himself.
20. A warrior knows pain, sadness, joy, and solitude.
21. A warrior must be awake.
The warrior's nature is that of the predator in the wild. As a man
he strives to reach above himself, his false perceptions, his
adversaries...
His highest achievement is not one of victory, but one of absolute
truth.
