The greatness of Gogen Sensei was seen in the person he was and lived. He was a teacher of great skill in the art of Karate-do. We all know what karate is, however not many understand the real meaning of Do. Do means " the way" . This relates to the traditional art which gives you more than just learning defence, it is about understanding oneself. Gogen Sensei spent the last years of his life in the serious pursuit of understanding himself. We too must use some of our time to discover lifes real purpose, I am sure only then we can find true happiness.
