Summary:
A testament to the way of solitude and simplicity, the 21 precepts of the Dokkōdō, also known as The Way of Walking Alone, is one of Musashi's principal legacies. Inspired by his life of combat and the bushido code, Miyamoto Musashi wrote the Dokkōdō in Japan in 1645, to pass on his wisdom and philosophy of life before he died. In the short text, the master duelist shares 21 precepts for healthy living. They are influenced by principles akin to Stoicism. Even today, these universal lessons can be useful for leading an honest and happy life.

Among the main themes he addresses in the Dokkōdō, Miyamoto Musashi stresses the importance of simplicity, discipline and detachment. He suggests forgetting material desires and distractions and concentrating on the essential. He advocates not only material simplicity, but also mental, spiritual simplicity; purity of thought. In his vision, mental clarity enables deeper self-mastery.
