3. Respect
Respect is the foundation of our
communication with one other. To be
respectful is to be mannerly, kind, and
courteous to others. But it must come
from a pure heart; a superficial act of
respect is not truthful.
*At the end of each day, think about your of conduct. Shame and disgrace are the
interchanges with others. Were you kind?
Were you considerate, attentive?
4. Compassion
To be compassionate is to be
sympathetic, charitable, and
understanding, to be warm-hearted and
loving towards others.
*What is the tendency of your love? Do
you look to give love, or only to take love Duty and loyalty often require
from others?
5. Honesty and Sincerity
An honest person is truthful with others
as well as him or herself. An honest
person does not lie, cheat or make
excuses, and always keeps his or her
promises.
*Are you completely truthful with
yourself and others? Is your word
your bond, or have you hidden behind
untruths or conscious omissions of
the truth? If so, reflect on what you are
hiding and why.

6. Honor
Honor is a personal as well as social
opinion of one’s character. On a personal
level, honor is a sense of integrity,
decency, and honesty. As a barometer
of social standing, honor is bestowed
on those who uphold their personal
ethos and abide by their society’s code
opposite of honor. Honor also conveys
a sense of nobility, or exalted moral
excellence.
*Are your thoughts and actions noble?
Do you speak and act with decency? Is
there anything you have done or said
that you are ashamed of?
7. Duty and Loyalty
selflessness, to put the concerns of others
before your own.
*Reflect on how egoistic you can be.
Do you do for others before thinking of
yourself?
I would also like to stress the importance
of faith as the backbone of the true
Bushido Spirit. Having faith in a higher
power and a spiritual life that extends far
beyond our worldly existence aligns our
mind and heart with “Universal Truth.”
Such faith enables us to understand
and commit to what is right as seen
