Crossword-Solution: SAMURAIS 8 letters, 5 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 10

There are many instances, in the Japanese history, of Samurais who were really starved to death in spite of their having a hundred pieces of gold carefully preserved to meet the expenses at the time of an emergency; hence the proverb: "The falcon would not feed on the ear of corn, even if he should starve." Similarly, we know of no case of Zen monks, ancient and modern, who got rich by any ignoble means.

One must advance through the whole course, by initiatory degrees, before learning the final mysteries of the samurais.
