Musashi Kickstarter

[Same Trick]

I swear half the quotes I see attributed to Musashi aren't even real.

Probably yes, as a fake remake. However Musashi quote or not, the essence of it probably make sense.

Yes, the quote you linked is mostly consistent with his philosophy. Likely a synthesis of his broader writings.

After reading about Fudo Myo-o Acalanatha Statue I decided to order this from ebay, located in nan yang, China. Ordered. Order paid. Order confirmed by seller. Notice of preparation for sending received. Teo days later I get this:
"Hello my friend, sorry, this model is currently out of stock. It will be available in 10-20 days and I will contact you."

First: I don't understand why people advertise stuff for sale when they don't have it. I know it is a common practice. Maybe they hope to get it before it sells. Hope the customer over looks this and buys after a prolonged wait. Maybe it is an inventory accounting error. Etc.

Second: I think this is an indication that the item is in plentiful supply. Which means it is probably currently in production and not very old. Or, was very common at one time and many are still available even if out of production currently. In either case case item does not posses great economic value.

Third: I am not angry, disappointed yes. Patience is not my long suit. But, I am working on it. Every dog has his day. Perhaps I will enjoy it more for the wait.

Yeah you're right. Interesting. Might be a Taoist sage?

Lao Tzu is usually depicted with a staff in one hand and a peach in the other.

It’s not angry, and it’s not a warrior, it’s a deity.

I was referring to my self to not get angry over my issues with the seller. I think anger is an expression of selfishness on ones part. Normally, not a productive emotion. Anger frequently makes thing worse, rarely better.

Actually it wasn't me who used the term "Angry Warriors." It was a quote from someone else.

But the concept that Gods don't angry is new to me, if that was what you were saying. Interesting.....
