I have thought about the nature of my commitments lately.
I look to my vows for guidance as well as my daily affirmation. I sit Daily ,I practice and Teach Aikido both of which require time. Loyalty is essential to any training regardless of style or affiliation. However it is on a personal level as much as is one’s character. If you practice for personal gain there your loyalty lies, and your development will suffer. We have all seen people come and go in training. Both Formal study in OPB and Aikido are training for life and it demands a certain commitment. This should obviously imply a sense of duty or obligation to one's teacher.
