Ueshiba Morihei: Comprehending the Universe

Ueshiba Morihei Art

Many people begin martial arts to become stronger, braver, and able to protect themselves and their loved ones, or simply to appear more confident. Yet most styles involve some level of violence and physical contact, and learning to fully calm the emotions is difficult even for experienced fighters.

The Art of Peace, created by Ueshiba Morihei, offers a different path. True strength does not come from aggression but from kindness and love for all beings. By aligning with the energy of the universe, a warrior develops spiritual power and a kind of sixth sense that reveals the deeper currents of any situation.

In the painting Comprehending the Universe, Ueshiba holds a triple tomoe, the symbol of cosmic energy. The living fire surrounds him like a mantle of ancient wisdom. This artwork is ideal for dojos and training halls, reminding us that martial arts have not only physical and philosophical dimensions, but also a spiritual one—and by understanding the spiritual, we deepen the other two.

Always keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky, the great ocean, and the highest peak, empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment.
Each and every master, regardless of the era or the place, heard the call and attained harmony with heaven and earth. There are many paths leading to the top of Mount Fuji, but there is only one summit―love.
All life is a manifestation of the spirit, the manifestation of love.
― Morihei Ueshiba
