A true samurai must follow the Jin of Serenity. One must remain calm and collected during battle. The anger blinds oneself. A true samurai must follow the Jin of Piety. There is always one better. The greatest swordsman will still fall with an arrow in his heart. A true samurai must follow the Jin of Loyalty. Loyalty to one's self, as well as one's Lord and Retainers. For Loyalty is not a one-way road." A true samurai must follow the Jin of Obedience. A soldier has no time on the field of battle to question his Lord's battle plan. Nor second-guess him. This Jin is abused a lot, and must be balanced with the other eight Jins. A true Samurai must follow the Jin of Wisdom, for he cannot allow others to do the thinking for him. He must learn all he can and be able to apply that knowledge to new and unique situations A true samurai must follow the Jin of Courtesy, for he is not a monster or an animal that simply takes or rushes through. Politeness and manners set him apart from the amasses and the animals A true samurai must follow the Jin of Benevolence. One can easier stop a Kappa with an offer of a cucumber then fighting. As well as, one helped can become a future ally that turned the tide for you A true samurai must follow the Jin of Trust/Sincerity. He must be true to himself and others. Mean what he says, and does what he says." A true samurai follows the Jin of Justice. There can be no Peace in the Land without Justice, and Justice requires Truth, for these three are the pillars of World
