Part 13/15:
Musashi’s teaching method is direct and practical. He discourages superficial learning or reliance on doctrinal rituals and emphasizes diligent practice, intuitive understanding, and daily discipline. He advocates that a true warrior must train thoroughly, constantly observe the environment, and cultivate inner calmness amid chaos.
He encourages students to absorb principles through experience, not just reading, and to integrate their understanding into their body and spirit. His goal is to produce self-reliant, adaptable warriors capable of victory under any circumstances.
