射法训

射法者，不射弓而射骨，最肝要也。 置心于总体之中央，而弓手三分二推弦，妻手三分一引弓，而纳心是和合也。 而后从胸中筋，宜如分于左右离之。 书曰：铁石相克，火出事急也。即金体白色，西半月之位也。

射法は、弓を射ずして骨を射ること最も肝要なり。心を総体の中央に置き、而して弓手三分の二弦を推し、妻手三分の一弓を引き、而して心を納む是れ和合なり。然る後胸の中筋に従い、宜しく左右に分るる如くこれを離つべし。書に曰く、鉄石相剋して火の出づる事急なり。即ち金体白色、西半月の位なり。

The way is not with the bow, but with the bone, which is of the greatest importance in shooting. Placing Spirit (Kokoro) in the center of the whole body, with two-thirds of the Yunde (left arm) push the string, and with one-third of the Mete (right arm) pull the bow. Spirit settled, this becomes harmonious unity. From the center line of the chest, divide the left and right equally into release. It is written, that the collision of iron and stone will release sudden sparks; and thus there is the golden body, shining white, and the half-moon positioned in the west.
