Please Explain me the Quotation of one of the Greatest Martial artist and Philosopher in the World Bruce Lee?

Question

Like everyone else you want to learn the way to win. But never to accept the way to lose. To accept defeat — to learn to die — is to be liberated from it. Once you accept, you are free to flow and to harmonize. Fluidity is the way to an empty mind. You must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying.

Answer 2

again with the demands to number our responses?  What is the matter with you?

We are not friends, if we were, the word would be meaningless. And there is no god.

Answer 3

He refers to the "moment of Zen".  No past, no future, only present moment.  The 'learn to die & ambition' part has to do with the same sort of thing Jesus taught, eliminate ego, thinking. fear; flow with the present moment and you will be in tune with Forces greater than ourselves.  Even Their instrument.

This is the mystery of the bad translation from Greek to English in the New Testament  about losing your life to find your life.  In Greek there are 2 different words for different kinds of life.  One must die to one in order to find the other.

Answer 4

The late Bruce Lee, although a very genetically gifted individual in many ways and superb martial artist as well as a student of philosophy, was not, in and of himself, a philosopher of note.

He simply repeated what others had said before him and what you have cited is an example of the same.

In this "quote", the late Mr. Lee is simply espousing what master martial artist have said since the creation of the arts, which is, ones truest opponent is ones self and, more directly, ones own ego or the false sense of self that maintains ones illusion of separateness from the true nature of reality and ones self in relation to the same.

Such a realization or awareness is enlightenment which frees one from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, etc.

This a part of the Bushido code as the same was practiced by the samurai and was taken from Chan / Zen Buddhist teachings.

Your post seems to be in the style of another poster who used a different "label" yet usually presented that ones self as a "philosophy honors student" as well as asking for answers to be structured in the format you requested as well as utilizing the same ending phrase.

This one has supplied you with an answer to your query however it is not and will not be in the controlling style you have requested.

This one ask the poster, "Why the continued game?"

Be well.

ADDITION:

Goddess, not godesses.
