This book is dedicated to all those
who can realize the value of karate beyond fighting
by digging deep enough in the mud
of their own limitations
to reveal the gem that is to be found there
Victory breeds hatred
The defeated live in pain
The peaceful live happily
Giving up victory and defeat
—Dhammapada 201
