Live in the present time
Cherry blossoms and heart
Sakura(cherry blossoms) is a flower that symbolizes Japan.
The flowering period is very short, about 2 weeks.
That innocent figure that blooms at once and scatters at once.
It reminds “impermanence”.
Cherry blossom season
late March to early April (around Tokyo)
What is “諸行無常(All of things are impermanence)” ?
A Buddhist term that means that everything in the world is
constantly changing and nothing stays the same forever.
“諸行(Shogyo)” is all of phenomenon of this world,
“無常(Mujyo)” means that everything is constantly changing.
In this video, a Buddhist monk says like this,
“Nothing lasts forever, bad situations don’t last forever.”
“So don’t stress too much.”
Summary
When the cherry blossoms bloom,
There are many people who enjoy “this time”,
feel the arrival of spring, and feel happy.
There is no eternity in the seasons, the events in the world,
our minds, the minds of others, and matter.
Sometimes we may feel emptiness and fragility there.
That’s why I feel the message to cherish “this moment”.
From the monk’s words that
even bad situations are not permanent
we can receive hope to live.
Thank you for reading this far.
I would appreciate it if you have any feelings or notices 😌
