All things are generated by the Dao and sustained by virtue. Martial virtue directly relates to morality. The Dao is the way of the universe. To be virtuous is to follow the laws of the universe. One who has martial arts skills believes in karmic retribution, can distinguish good from evil, respects the Dao and values virtue, understands that good and bad are rewarded accordingly, eliminates evil and promotes goodness, cultivates virtue and longs for the Dao—these are all a part of Wu-De (martial virtue).

Oh eternal truth, the silent whispering reality, there is no word to describe you, and no being can really know you, you are the unfathomable mystery behind all life, may I call you the great “Dao” and regard you as the mother of universe.
How will I describe your glory?

The image of one’s face can be seen in the river, but when gazing in to the water with a pure and tranquil heart one can see so much more than an image.
The water will reflect the boundless sky and its heavenly glory, and when carefully listening to the gentle humming sound of the flowing river, the mystery of life and innermost self will be revealed.
