Into a soul (kokoro) absolutely Free from
thoughts and emotions,
Even the tiger finds no room to insert
its fierce claws.
 
Some think that striking is to strike:
But striking is not to strike, nor is killing to kill.
He who strikes and he who is struck-
They are both no more than a dream that has no reality.
No thinking, no reflecting,
Perfect emptiness:
Yet therein something moves,
Following its own course.
 
Victory is for the one,
Even before the combat
Who has no thought of himself,
Abiding in no-mind-ness of Great Origin.
 
(Samurai Waka)
 
mono no aware - be mindful, have empathy, do not mediate experience, be accepting, embrace the whole of life, be touched by things good and bad
