First Edition April 1978

From the blurb: “In writing Meditation Yoga, the author has opend his heart in order that all may benefit from the precious truth he has gathered in the course of an unusually adventurous life. It is a completely honest presentation of his views aimed at those who have newly entered yoga. But it is important to understand that Meditation Yoga expresses the philosophy of totality in its form and in content. It is not a book to be read selectively, but must be taken as a whole. From the whole merges the spirit of Okidō and true meditation. This holistic spirit is a re-expression of that philosophy of totality which formerly inspired both Yoga and Buddhism.”

Dimensions: 20.7 x 14.7 x 0.3 cm

The purpose of this booklet is to introduce the philosophy of Okido Yoga. Oki Sensei’s sixteen pledges are words that arose from his own realisation of how to live, through his personal experience of natural law and the awakening of deep inner wisdom. They are not intended to be beliefs to be accepted or words to be recited by rote, but examples of self-affirmation arising from personal experience. Each individual may discover their own pledges in this way.

The original Japanese pledges and English translation are presented side by side. 日本語の原文と英語の翻訳を並べて掲載しています。
