This insight into the fascinating world of the samurai offers orientation: How can one take one's fate into one's own hands in difficult times? How to increase one's courage, act selflessly, fill one's life with beauty - and how to educate one's children? Above all, one should not fear one's own death, but accept transience with equanimity in order to regain one's own life in this way.
