"One
is not polishing one's shooting style or technique,
but
the mind.
The dignity of shooting is the important point.
This is how Kyudo differs from the common approach
to
archery.
In Kyudo there is no hope.
Hope
is not the point.
The point is that through long and genuine practice
your
natural dignityas a human being comes out
This
natural dignity is already in yourself,
but it is covered up by a
lot of
obstacles.
When they are cleared away,
your natural dignity is
allowed to shine forth".
