A Fourteenth Century Japanese Samurai Wrote:

I have no parents
I make the heavens and earth my parents
I have no home
I make awareness my home
I have no life or death
I make the tides of breathing my life and death
I have no divine power
I make honesty my divine power
I have no friends
I make my mind my friend
I have no enemy
I make carelessness my enemy
I have no armor
I make benevolence my armor
I have no castle
I make immoveable-mind  my castle
I have no sword
I make absence of self my sword.
