Where the mind goes, the body goes so as soon as a face-off begins, you should shift your body to the appropriate spot like an image reflecting in a mirror. You should transfer your mind to the appropriate locus like the moon reflecting in a body of water. These expressions also apply similarly to the moon in the water in martial arts.

It simply refers to casting an instant reflection from far away in the sky. The point of this is not that the moon reflected in water appears to be there but is not. There is a passage of Buddhist scripture that says the mind is as instantaneous as the moon reflected in water or an image cast in a mirror. This is a simile for the way things reflect in people’s minds as immediately as the moon reflects in a body of water.

The principle is not letting your hands and feet miss the location of the quiescent sword. ![]() Where the mind goes, the body goes the body follows the mind.Ī mirror is also likened to the quiescent sword, in which case these expressions are used to mean moving your body to the locus of the quiescent sword like a reflection.

Water reflects an image of the moon, a mirror reflects an image of a person’s body. The sense in which these expressions are applied to martial arts is as follows: The Mind is Like the Moon in the Water, the Body is Like an Image in a Mirror ![]()
