be clear

marbles and apples

to something transparent、For some reason, people seem to be drawn to it.。“Jewels” may be special, but、glass is called glass、Something that seems to have been more prized than jewelry、This can be seen from the fact that the Persian glass of Nara Shosoin has been handed down to this day.。Also known as Mughal glass from the Mughal Empire, which flourished around ancient India.、It's not as transparent as modern glass, but、Also has a vague anti-transparent feel with a slightly milky white tinge.、I remember feeling an indescribable charm。

"Transparent" and "clear" are not the same thing.、There is a common image。As you connect your imagination further, the meanings of ``clear'' and ``filtered'' come closer to each other.。filtered water is beautiful、Transparent but also dangerous。Even nutrients are removed、``If the water is clean, there will be no fish.''、Blood that is almost transparent smells of danger of death.。

Something that is completely transparent should be invisible to the eye.、light is reflected there、There is refraction、It is perceived as ``transparent'' because it has a slight light color.。It leads to clarity、This also leads to the image of water that has been “filtered” over a long period of time.。The clear stream where you can see the stones at the bottom of the river soothes your soul.、It must also depend on the sense of security that comes with passing such time.。

Everything that is clear is fleeting。gets dirty easily、something valuable。I see、It's like a mirror of our hearts。This is probably deeply connected to the spirit of wanting to be pure.。You need clear eyes to see what's important.。That's right、Let's value that more。

Naked

i like naked。Even in the sense of "nude"、It also doesn't mean stripping (wearing nothing).。“Naked” like a baby。In that sense、You can also write "naked" in kanji as "naked".、I like that pronunciation too。

But、I don't like "naked" when it's used in other ways.。

It's hard to be naked。It's also difficult to strip in public.、Being naked like a baby、Maybe it's something I can never do again。any baby、Looks best naked。I want to be like that、I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、I want to cherish my heart of wanting to be like that.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。

Smooth is not good。No need for smoothness。than that、Rather, it is more beautiful with sharp thorns.。The thorns are so delicate that you won't even notice that you've been stung.、Sensitive and sometimes painful thorns are also good。a little dull、I also like the worn-out thorns.。I never get tired of looking at the cacti by the window.。

What is freedom and expression? A story from a Zen monk

Classroom demo production (unfinished)

no one cares、whenever you want、do what you like、that's freedom。- “That’s not true.”、A Zen monk says:。it's stuck on me。whenever you like、What I like、Many of them are temporary、ephemeral、Maybe it wouldn't matter if you waited a little bit.、It's something like、and。

I wake up at 3 a.m. and start taking care of myself.。It's never been a hassle (= a hassle)、I do it because in hindsight I think it was a good idea after all.。At that time、I don't mind if I sleep a little longer (freedom)、I'll regret it later。Daily routine is set。No need to think about what to do (freedom from thinking)。that's why、What kind of being am I?、What am I?、You can spend a lot of time freely、friend。

I see.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。he is a foreigner、Since I was young, I felt that I wanted to live more freely.、leave your parents、leave the country、away from work、He said he came to a Japanese temple.。However, in training there is no freedom at all.、I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、No one says anything even if I do what I want, but I become more and more isolated.。I can't even read the scriptures、no one will tell me。become lonely、I wanted to go back to my country。But, “What will I do when I return to my country?”。―Everything starts from me―That’s why、“Return to yourself” again。The world has changed since then、That's called。

I see.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Return to yourself - do what you really want to do、momentary、not instantaneously。what to do for that。-Rather than trying to get something、To throw away、To be empty – yes.、I remember receiving the same advice.。I guess that's why you started studying about Buddhism again.。
-If what you really want to do is not expressed、I wonder if such expressions will eventually become nothing more than a kind of ``deceptive'' kind of thing.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。After all, it is precisely through this kind of expression that money and fame can be earned - and it is difficult to throw it away (which I think is different from "giving up").、severity、and think about your own expression。
