生き方 — Ikigata (Canon)

Ikigata concerns how to live when freedom, suffering, and impermanence are non-negotiable facts.

Principles

1. Amor Fati
   Accept what is given. Do not merely endure fate; affirm it.

2. Memento Mori
   Remember death. Urgency clarifies values and strips away the trivial.

3. Freedom Entails Responsibility
   To be free is to be accountable for one’s choices and their consequences.

4. Meaning Is Lived, Not Found
   Meaning emerges through action, commitment, and endurance—not discovery.

5. Suffering Is Not Optional; Meaning Is
   Pain is inevitable. Nihilism is a choice.

6. Do Not Be Harmed Unless You Consent
   Injury is often unavoidable; resentment is optional.

7. Loss Is the Price of Love
   Grief measures depth, not failure.

8. Hope Must Be Honest
   Reject false optimism. Choose hope that survives reality.

9. Character Reveals Itself Under Constraint
   Ease hides values; pressure exposes them.

10. Live Deliberately
    Act as though your way of living teaches others how to live.

Ikigata is not consolation. It is orientation.
