"Sword practice has no inside, no outside. Action in stillness. Stillness in action. These are opposite sides of the same coin. There is only one coin, this coin is "Buddha Mind". This reality reflects the world of opposites. In this stillness and action there are no opposites. this is the 'Intent' and 'Volition' of Zen Sword."
The volition to experience this reality of mutually interpenetrative opposites---"stillness in action-action in stillness'"---is the Intention of Sword Practice.
