A 13th Century Samurai prayer

I make the heavens and earth my parents

I have no home.

I make awareness my home

I have no life and death.

I make the tides of breathing my life and death

I have no divine power.

I make honesty my divine power

I have no means.

I make adaptability to all circumstances my principles

I have no tactics

I make my mind my friend

I have no enemy

I make carelessness my enemy

I have no armour

I make benevolence and righteousness my armour

I have no castle

I make immovable mind my castle

I have no sword

I make absence of self-interest my sword.
