Not Striving

  • 利休 said: Having 寂(さび)is good, striving for it isn't
  • Third Chinese Zen patriach 鑑智僧璨 (そうさん) (-606) said: Attaining the Way is without difficulty. Simply avoid picking and chosing.
  • Likewise, 道元(どうげん) (1200-1253) said: Loving the flowers, they wither; hating the weeds, they flourish.

➡️ Don't think in good and bad, just accept the world as is ➡️ This is also the meaning of 日日是好日 ➡️ 寂 is a lifestyle, not a conscious effort
