Bodai Shindo Ryu, which means The Way of the Inherently Enlightened Heart/Mind/Spirit.  The word Bodai means spiritual awakening, with Shin being used the same as Kokoro, which means spirit, heart, and mind. Defining inherently as part of the very nature of something and therefore permanently characteristic of it or necessarily involved in it, and enlightened as having a sound and open-minded understanding of all the facts, or based on such an understanding.
