We must endeavor to cultivate generosity while looking at the roots of our greed. Removing greed will allow our martial arts to flourish and blossom.
There are many kinds of greed in our lives and in our budō. It is important to investigate the seeds of greed in our minds in order for our paths to have less obstruction preventing us from reaching our potential.
