My ultimate goal is to see smile
in every face.
Above anything else, I am
blessed with good fortune.
I don’t know myself why I am so fortunate.
Curiosity motivates you to
seek experience with new things
I am full of curiosity and accept
everything openly. This attitude toward life has enabled me to cope
successfully with just about anything so far.
When I analyze myself why I
have been fortunate, one reason comes to my mind.
Since my childhood, it has
been my habit to ask myself repeatedly “Why” whenever I feel uneasy about
something or I am not convinced about anything.
At such a time, I
investigate thoroughly until I am convinced through trial and error and I
convey the results of my investigation to other people.
In a situation where there
is no way out, I feel at odds with myself. Why some people suffer and others
don’t...
The future is un
predictable.
But, in face of a new broader
set of perspectives and expectations. I think that “the four most important
elements of a tea ceremony - harmony, respect, purity and tranquility” express
what is important for us in an easy-to-understand manner.
These are the four most
important elements of a tea ceremony - "Wakei Seijaku" in Japanese.
The tea ceremony philosophy
teaches us to value peace (harmony), respect others, purify our mind and body,
and be calm and impassive to anything.
I think this is the common
value which must be sought by us all in the current conflicting world in order
to give solutions to all problems we are faced with.
As social beings we cannot
live without communicating with others
Harmony,
Respect, Purity and Tranquility
Harmony
→ Be friendly with one
another and understand each other.
Respect
→ Respect each other. Pay
respect to others and show such feeling in action and attitude
Purity
→ Purify both mind and body.
To be smiling at all times, courteous in speech, welcoming other persons, full
of curiosity, eating well and keeping healthy.
Tranquility
→Be calm at all times.
Be equal to everyone in
behavior with a forthright attitude, have a keen understanding of where you
stand in a time of panic amidst confusing information and assess the situation
accurately to make the right decision, and be capable to following the correct
path with peace in mind
Therefore,
we must communicate with
each other for better understanding.
