タオと禅につながる武道家は，無駄なことはしゃべらない。無駄にしゃべれば，災いを生む。我々はつい，「私」にこだわるために，何かを言いたくなる。それは欲求であり，不平であり，虚栄である。武道家であれば，災いを避け，静かに生きる。極力欲を手放し，なるべく目立たず，できるだけシンプルに生きる。それはまるで空気のごとく，そこにあってそこにない存在である。「私」へのこだわりを捨てるから，「私」はもうそこにはいない。
Budo-ka, who are connected with the Tao and Zen, do not say unnecessary things. Unnecessary words will lead to evils. We human beings unintentionally tend to be attached to our "self (I)" and then be tempted to say something. These are desires, complaints, or vanities. Budo-ka would stay away from evils, and live a calm and quiet life. They would let go of as much desires of theirs as possible, keep as modest as possible, and live as simply as possible. They are there but not there, almost as if they are something like air. Their "self (I)" is no longer there since they left the attachment to their "self (I)."
