Quote

“Since I do not seek principles outside my mind, true knowing and right acting merely unite as one in the end.”

Greeting

“To know is the beginning of action; to act is the completion of knowing.”
“Outside the mind, there is no affair; outside the mind, there is no principle.”
“Follow your innate knowledge. That itself is the Heavenly Principle.”

Roll Call

“Unity of knowledge and action. Knowing alone is not enough. Move.”
“If the mind is principle, then this very battlefield is a place of self-cultivation.”
“He who claims to know but does not act does not yet know. Step forward.”

Deploy

“Advance as innate knowledge guides you!”
“Break the enemy's spirit first — the fortress comes next!”
“The bandits in the mountains are easier than the bandits in the heart. Cast out fear!”

Victory

“It is easy to crush bandits in the mountains, but hard to crush those in the heart.”
“The soldiers' innate knowledge has shone forth.”
“He who unites knowing and doing cannot be defeated.”

Draw

“When the mind wavers, the battlefield wavers. Hold the center.”
“When the will is firm, opportunity will come.”
“Victory or defeat is decided not by the sword, but by the mind.”

Defeat

“I failed to first conquer the bandits within the heart. My fault.”
“Even defeat is a teaching of innate knowledge. I shall remember it.”
“Knowledge and action were not united. I shall forge them anew.”

Strike

“Charge! If the mind has decided, then act!”
“Fear is a sickness of the mind. Forward!”
“Break through the enemy!”
