- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Yagyu Yajima no Kami Munenori was a teacher of swordsmanship to the shogun.
- One of the personal guards of the shogun came to Tajima no Mami one day asking to be trained in swordplay.
- 'As I observe, you seem to be a master of the art yourself,' said the teacher. 'Please tell me to what school you belong before we enter into the relationship of teacher and pupil.'
- The guardsman said: 'I do not belong to any school, I have never studied the art.'
- 'It is no use trying to fool me,' said the teacher. 'My judging eye never fails.'
- 'I am sorry to defy, your honour,' said the guard, 'but I really know nothing.'
- 'If you say so then it must be true, but I am sure that you are the master of something, so tell me about yourself.'
- 'There is one thing,' said the guard. 'When I was a child I thought that a samurai should never be afraid of death, so I grappled with the problem, and now the thought of death has ceased to worry me.'
- 'That's it!' exclaimed the teacher. 'The ultimate secrets of swordsmanship lie in being released from the thought of death. You need no technical training, you are already a master.'
