Preface
For a long time, human beings have tried to understand the world through knowledge and systems.
Through this, many things became possible. Yet at the same time, people gradually moved away from their bodies, from nature, and from everyday living.
Today, we are once again encountering a fundamental question:
What does it mean to live?
Human beings do not live by knowledge alone.
We live by sensing, by moving, and by being in relationship.
To recover this sensibility, explanation and education alone are not enough.
People change and grow only within the flow of everyday life.
The Tariki Samuga Ranch was born as a place for this purpose.
Here, people do not teach people.
The horse becomes the master.
The horse does not teach.
It does not explain.
It does not evaluate.
It simply lives within relationship.
Within that relationship, people encounter the world again through their bodies.
This ranch is not a school.
It is not a training facility.
This is a place of pilgrimage.
Yet it is not the destination of the pilgrimage.
People stop here for a while,
live with horses,
move their bodies,
place themselves within relationships,
and then continue their own journeys.
The ranch stands at the boundary between nature and life.
Tariki Samuga Ranch is not an organization or a system.
It is an ecosystem where fudo — wind and soil — are connected.
People arrive as wind,
encounter the soil,
seeds begin to sprout,
and the journey continues.
Within this circulation,
the wind moves,
the soil prepares,
and seeds begin to grow.
This cycle
is Tariki Samuga.
This charter expresses the principles that arise within that circulation.
It is not a fixed doctrine,
but a living principle that continues along the path of pilgrimage.
Charter
1. A Place Simply to Be
This ranch is not a place for teaching.
It is not a place for evaluation.
This is simply a place to be.
Here, people are not changed by force,
but gradually transform within the fudo.
2. The Horse as Master
In this place, the master is not a human being, but the horse.
The horse
does not teach,
does not explain,
does not evaluate.
It simply lives within relationship.
3. Resonance
What happens here is resonance.
No one changes another person.
When senses and bodies respond to one another within relationship,
resonance emerges.
4. Embodied Knowledge
Human beings do not live by knowledge alone.
We
feel,
move,
and live within relationships.
The knowledge that arises there
is called embodied knowledge.
5. Wind, Soil, and Seed
The way of this ranch can be expressed through three states:
Wind, Soil, and Seed.
Wind moves and travels.
Soil prepares and supports.
Within that fudo,
seeds begin to grow.
6. Pilgrimage
This ranch is a place of pilgrimage.
Yet it is not the destination.
It is a ranch along the way.
7. Boundary
There is a quiet boundary in this place.
This is not a place to evaluate people.
Not a place to compete.
Not a place to control others.
8. The Path
This ranch lies along a path.
This path has no name.
It comes into being naturally
as people continue to travel it.
9. Violence and Division
Violence creates division.
Yet within the fudo,
relationships quietly begin to recover.
10. Circulation
People arrive as wind,
encounter the soil,
seeds begin to sprout,
and then they continue their journey.
11. Without a Center
This ranch has no center.
The fudo gives birth to the place,
and like an ecosystem,
it exists through relationships.
Closing
This charter is a principle that lives
within the path of pilgrimage.
It is not a fixed teaching,
but something that continues to live
as people travel the path.
