I attended the Reiki gathering at 5 p.m. There were 44 attendees.
The Reiki teacher shared his wisdom about sakura; cherry blossom. At this moment Japanese people have been enjoying sakura flowers. Japanese love sakura. And he thinks it is because Japanese people see sakura as a representative of 物の哀れmonono aware. It is one of the philosophy that our ancestors have cherished for generations. It is a cycle of life and gentle sadness. Sakura blossom is beautiful but we know the beautiful moment doesn’t stay for long. After sakura blossoms reach to the full bloom, next stage is for cherry blossoms to fall off by heavy rain and strong wind. Sakura expresses the transition of things. We see the universal rule of 諸行無常 Shogyo Mujo that everything is impermanence. Everything is being evolving by transitioning its stage. We see the beauty in the transitioning process. The teacher reminded us that we should cherish every moment because the “Now moment” will not come back again. We should not be attached to anything. We just enjoy the now moment and believe everything changes to evolve and improve. I always enjoy his teachings and reminders.
