Best Answer

"To serve" as in service and loyalty to the Emperor. The samurai was a class of warrior defending the Japanese Empire, surrendering their life and dedicating their sword to the command of the Holy Emperor. One is not a samurai without adherence to the philosophy of Bushido. The concept of "do" as a variation in pronunciation of "tao" is a universal Asian philosophy which embodies the concept of ideal action, and harmony and balance of mind, body, and spirit - perfection in all things.
