                         ”
             —Morihei Ueshiba

10   Lessons from
     the Bamboo
9   Lessons from
    the Bamboo
(1) Remember: What looks
    weak is strong
fragile is strong.
What looks
You do n  ot have to
b e big to b e strong.
“   Size matters not. Look
    at me. Judge me by my
    size do you? Hmm?
                       ”
              —Master Yoda
You do not have to be scary, and big like a
  dark forest.


Strength in the light,
in kindness & compassion

(2) Bend but don’t break
with th e flow.
B amboo goes
(3)Deeply rooted yet flexible
(4) Slow down your busy mind
We cannot see our reflection
in running water...
It is only in still water that we can see.
                             —Taoist proverb
This is a video without sound.
(5) Be always ready
“
The warrior, like bamboo,
is ever ready for action.
            —Kensho Furuya
                             ”
(6 ) Find wisdom in emptiness
“
Empty your cup so that

                 ”
it may be filled...
           —Bruce Lee
“   You must unlearn what
    you have learned.
                     ”
              —Master Yoda
(7 ) Commit yourself
     to growth & renewal
Even a 100 foot stalk of bamboo
 can progress one more step.
(8 ) Express your usefulness
     through simplicity
“
The bamboo in its simplicity
expresses its usefulness. Man
should do the same.
                    ”
               — Kensho Furuya
(9) Unleash your power
    to spring back
Fall seven times, get up eight
“It ain’t about how hard you
  can hit. It’s about how hard
  you can get hit and keep
  moving forward.... That’s
  how winning is done!
                        ”
                —Rocky Balboa
