Shike Doshin So, founder of Shorinji Kempo



I am my own refuge and source of strength.

On whom may I rely if not myself?

With self wisely disciplined I find a truly rare and precious fountain of strength.

By doing evil, I contaminate myself.

By not doing evil, I purify myself.

Purity and contamination come from within,and others cannot purify my heart.
