Samurai Spirit Today

Weeks ago we were glued to our T.V. and computer screens, watching the Japanese people valiantly confront nature’s power mercilessly unleashed. A triple disaster: an earthquake, a tsunami and nuclear radiation. No doubt their response is influenced by the samurai spirit.

Evolving Martial Artists are aware of the samurai legacy: the ideal of a fierce, yet noble warrior. It is the notion of bushido, an ethical code that elevates fighting as a bloody profession into a disciplined path for coping with life’s adversity. One of the ideals of the samurai is “gaman,” which is to endure with self-restraint and dignity. The word embraces patience, tolerance, fortitude and control. For all the struggle, there has been little news of looting or violence. In the above video, actor and activist George Takei explains the concept to Ali Velshi on CNN.

We should remember the courage and tenacity of the Japanese who continue to battle the aftermath of the catastrophe. Their relentless battle to survive and rebuild continues. It’s hell but the ethos of “gaman” pervades their culture.

May the warrior spirit sustain us all during these difficult days.

Keep practicing and exploring, Lawrence Tan
