Japanese Zen Proverb
Dear Colleagues:
Although I´m an English Spanish translator, I have a very unusual requirement, I need to translate this Zen Proverb into Japanese, it will be painted as a mural painting in a Karate school. I have no knowledge of Japanese, but I understand that this proverb can be written in Kanji symbols.
It is very important that this proverb is properly written, since this school will receive several Japanese visitors during the following months.
I will be very grateful for your suggestions about this unusual requirement.
Thanks a lot,
Juan Mera

When your question is literally translation, 心を支配せよ、心に支配されるな (Rule your mind, not be ruled by it) would do.
But I wish to choose actual Zen teaching and I found this here.

Since you do not read Japanese, let me explain what this means --- "Be master of your own mind always. Then you may find the truth."
