The natural, unadulterated workings of nature. It is about detaching oneself from artificiality and attachment, and accepting the natural state of things as "the truth as it is." It also suggests that people should cast aside unnecessary thoughts and find quiet awareness in their daily lives. The flowers of the mountains and the voices of the birds are not trying to tell us anything. However, if we clear our minds and listen to the natural world, we can find a deep sense of peace and enlightenment that does not rely on words. ▢ Taigen Kobayashi (Kobayashi Taigen) Born in 1938.
