The Eight Precepts

Jinshin wa tenchi ni onaji
The mind remains empty, like heaven and earth

Ketsumyaku wa jitsugetsu ni nitari
The blood flows like the cycles of the sun and the moon

Ho wa goju wo donto si
The essence of technique lies in hardness and softness, in breathing in and out

Mi wa zuiji ohen su
Act according to timing and change

Te wa kuu ni aeba sunawachi hairu
Techniques arise in the absence of conscious thought

Shintai wa hakarite riho su
The body advances and retreats, separates and comes together

Me wa shiho wo miru koto wo yosu
Keep your gaze attentive in all directions

Mimi wa yoku happo wo kiku
Listen carefully in every direction
