4’ - Yoritomo-Tashi Common Sense

The text provides excerpts from Common Sense, a book by Blanchard Dangenues that explains the teachings of the venerable Shogun Yoritomo-Tashi. The book explores the concept of common sense, defining it as the ability to make sound judgments based on perception, memory, thought, deduction, foresight, reason, and judgment. It emphasizes that common sense is not an innate quality but a skill that must be cultivated through practice and self-awareness. Dangenues uses a series of allegorical stories and examples to illustrate the importance of common sense in navigating daily life, overcoming illusion, developing reasoning power, and making decisions with self-control. The book argues that common sense is not a passive quality but an active principle that can guide individuals towards a fulfilling and harmonious existence.
