Bushido


Recommended Posts

What are your opinions on Bushido (Way of the Samurai/Warrior)

 

Does anybody try to follow these values in their everyday life?

 

These are, roughly:

 

Gi - Rectitude

 

Yu - Courage

 

Jin - Benevolence

 

Rei - Respect

 

Makoto - Honesty

 

Meiyo - Honor

 

Chugi - Loyalty

*Gi-Yu-Jin-Rei-Makoto-Meiyo-Chugi*

"Life in every breath..."

"That is...Bushido."

"Hai."

To be honest I never really understood the whole "way of the warrior " thing .

 

I mean the set of values that you have listed are pretty much universally true for all religous , spiritual and/or ethical ways of thinking . As with the overwhelming majority of the people I know I try to follow such values as I feel that they are a proper etiquite (sp?) for all , but feel that I have very little in common with the samurai warriors of days gone by .

We are not so much individual beings as individual points of perception within one immense being.

The values of honesty, honour, respect etc are things that are good for anyone to try and live by, whether or not they are deliebratly following the Bushido or no.
