「祇園精舎の鐘の声、諸行無常の響きあり...おごれる人も久しからず、ただ春の夜の夢のごとし。」

 

(Gion shōja no kane no koe, shogyō mujō no hibiki ari... ogoreru hito mo hisashikarazu, tada haru no yo no yume no gotoshi.)

 

„The sound of the Gion temple bells echoes the impermanence of all things… The proud shall not endure, they are like a dream on a spring night.”

Philosophy & Spirituality

Philosophy and Spirituality of Japan is a realm filled with silence, contemplation, and profound insight into the nature of existence. It is a land where the mystical dimensions of Shinto intertwine with Zen philosophy, creating a unique landscape of thought that invites us on an inner journey.

Mono no aware—the subtle sense of melancholy in the face of impermanence—is just one of the keys to understanding the Japanese view of life. Every moment, every drop of rain, every ripple on the surface of a lake becomes an object of meditation, an opportunity to immerse oneself in deep awareness of presence and transience.

Walking the path of bushidō, samurai warriors shaped not only their bodies but also their spirits, striving for harmony between honor and instinct, life and death.

These are just some of the themes that await you in the “Philosophy and Spirituality” section.
