      Probably very different for each person. I've known many MANY people that seem to never be alone, Ever. From morning to night. Heck I live with 3 or so of these types in a large home. I've created a tiny house in a house so that I do not leave my 'unit'. I'm perceived as being a recluse and different😂. True I suppose on both accounts.

      Actually... Not todays sixteen.... But if you are hardly trained as special force soldier (what samurais were from todays perspective) from age of 7...
      But battle of Sekigahara was different, because during that battle were, first in Japan's history, used large firearms in big scale (by Tokugawa's side) so if he were anywhere near... Just imagine not only being so young, but seeing for the first time ever in history, horrors of shrapnell massacre. And on top of that, according to the most of that era Japan warriors was death by cannons perceived as dishonouring. So, if you are choosing between dishonouring surviving and dishonouring death, you may end up with easy choice. And on top of that - seppuku was often perceived as a way to join your master and commrades, who died honnorably, to be in afterlife with them and share their path... ...But if they were victims of bombarding, Musashi may have to face very unique and before that time even impossible choice...

    3) don't under any circumstances depend on partial feeling.

    You can see many similarities between that and all the teachings of every philosopher or wise man who wrote or spoke about walking alone. That means the principles are not so different even in different cultures and times when it comes to walking alone.

    • @dlloydy5356
      @dlloydy5356 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Agree with you...many of the different philosophies have the same/similar principles at their root. I enjoy studying them regardless of the ‘school’ I constantly go from one to another & back again. I believe it’s often referred to as ‘free or independent thinking’. I guess if you are quite open minded it’s a natural thing to do. As I see it no one way is the absolute best yet as many overlap there is a path connecting the ‘dots’ between these principles.

      Not gonna lie, the Vagabond manga which is based on a semi-fictional novel that features Musashi inspired me to have a Ronin look lol. And Musashi's books (Dokkodo and book of five rings) are also one of my faves together with SUN Tzu's the art of war.

    A student said to his master:
    "You teach me fighting, but you talk about peace. How do you reconcile the two?"
    The master replied:
    "It is better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war."

    Principles 1-7
    1. Accept everything just the way it is.
    2. Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.
    3. Do not, under any circumstance, depend on a partial feeling.
    4. Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.
    5. Be detached from desire your whole life.
    6. Do not regret what you have done.
    7. Never be jealous.

    You state that samurai became ronin because they were afraid of committing ritual suicide. If so, Musashi should have committed seppuku, to avoid becoming a ronin. In reality, feudal Japan, like every society, was complex and nuanced. There were many reasons why a samurai could become a ronin. The death of their daimyo and dissolution of the daimyo's estate could leave his entire army as ronin. Both samurai and ronin required the permission of a lord to commit sanctioned suicide, and some daimyo refused to give this. Ronin would fight duels to gain reputation, in order to possibly get hired by a different daimyo. There was no dishonour in this pursuit. Or they would die honourably in a duel. The demilitarization of Japan after 1600 led to large numbers of ronin, who would find other work, despite the dishonour. I think you oversimplify, and skip some relevant details.

      @clFer777 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I didn't see the part of Musashi being afraid of Seppuku 🤔
      Anyway, in death of Daimyo Samurai should commit suicide because of loyalty. I am not expert but as I have read Samurai was a high class warrior. I would asume the head of an army, not everyone, so one wouldn't expect everyone committing suicide but the commander.
      Seeing in retrospective I would think the man though his art of swordsmanship was worthiest than "customary beliefs" (as he said) so killing himself before he could top on that would be a waste, and THAT would be dishonor (lack of self respect, as I saw somewhere and became a new accepted definition for me).
      Anyhoo, is impossible to separate the life of Musashi from Buddhism and of course, the cultural context that you expose. Regards from Chile 🇨🇱.

    "Following a desire can lead to an addiction." Well, yes. But at the same time, Miyamoto follows his way of swordsmanship to perfect his skill with the sword to the point he neglects the simple joys of human life. I think the translation of "desire" in general is either wrong, or the philosophy is incomplete. Not Miyamoto's, though, but in the Western epistemology, the presentation of ideas manner.

    • @thac0twenty377

      With attachment and desire the implication is seeking it for it ownself and to an extreme degree. Having a lust for something , regardless what it is, can never be fulfilled as you need more and more. The balanced view is enjog pleasure but not to the point it leads to self destruction. If that clarifies.
