Ryohkan's Zen word.

Spring has come and the beautiful cherry blossoms bloom.



Chiru-Sakura   Nokoru-Sakura-mo   Chiru-Sakura

"Falling (petals of) cherry blossoms.
Remaining cherry blossoms are going to fall after all."



It is said that Royhkan read this Zen words.
It means.....
What is life?
We shall all die some day.
We shall all die because we are alive.
We shall all die because we were born.
It's just like a 2 sides of a coin.



FYI: Ryohkan

The moon which is reflected in the water.

I came to see cherry blossoms at night here.



I found a man who was looking down and thinking about something.



What are you doing ?



I'm watching the moon which is reflected in the water and  some cherry blossom petals on the water.



Hmm...
Don't you look up at them?
They are very beautiful.

The moon which is reflected in the water is not shining because it wants to be reflected.
The water is not be there because it wants to reflect the moon.
The moon is only one in the sky but it is reflected in every water fairly and shining everywhere.
That is the "Muga-no-Kyouch"(the state of no-self).
I'm thinking about it.



I see....
It's sooooo difficult for me....

I've seen you somewhere before.

Hello.
I've seen you somewhere before.



Aha, you almost look like "Tetsuko Kuroyanagi"!



Let me sit in Zen meditation.



I think here is a place suitable for doing Zazen.
The atmosphere is also nice.
