People have different beliefs, and these beliefs direct our goals. Regardless of the differences in our beliefs, it is most important to have a belief and know what that belief is because only then can we have the patience to pursue our highest goal. Each morning of our Zen training, we wait for the sun to come up. Finally, it does. So it is that our beliefs and goals can come into focus. As we focus on our belief, we can aim our efforts at it and wait for it to rise. Our karate cultivates this belief upon which we can pursue our highest goal. In our karate, we keep going and going, training and training, until little by little the sun comes up—the belief or goal is met, and therefore revealed.
