『心偈』33続

柳宗悦『心偈』

In fact there is no other life except today this time .

It says 'Today's work is enough to today,' you will live the full life indeed that condenses today into the whole, the whole into today.

Confucius said 'If I can listen the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening.'

This is the word from the deep experience.

You can live now,the death isn't the death.

A fear of the death is a expectancy of tomorrow.

That is the reason that you will not worth worrying about existence of tomorrow,

there is the whole life on today this time.

The person who live at the moment, tomorrow has no pressure.

So he listens the truth in the morning,if he dies in the evening, he doesn't upset.

The peace of mind is nothing but grasp the today.

 

今日も雪でしたが、少しは溶けるくらいです。

3度がこんなにあたたかいとは、屋根の雪の雪解けの水の音がしています。
