It is already the last week of March. I searched for a Zen phrase for March and found this one, which apparently means that just as there is a difference in the length of tree branches, there are trivial differences in people’s lives and that the sun shines equally on the earth, however, there will be different results.
I found this term after searching for a Zen phrase suited to this cold time of year. It apparently means that you should check where you stand now, and by extension, it is thought to mean that you should confirm where exactly you are at present. However, I do not know why this should be appropriate for this cold season.
As we are approaching the end of January, I searched for a Zen phrase suited to January or the New Year. It apparently means that a little incident such as “the New Year” renews people’s spirits. Then, everything, that is, people, physical matters, animals, and plants, starts to look fresh and bright.
The phrase apparently means satori exists in the silent world after the blaze of earthly desires was blown off. It certainly was quiet on the snowy morning. However, I do not understand what satori was.
I found this Zen term when I looked for one suitable for this season. Apparently, it means “although white clouds come into the world one after another and change their shapes and places constantly, the mountain remains the same.”
In other words, it means “some things never change” and I gave a big nod to the theory.

“I meet someone.” I was thrilled when I found this Zen term. Meeting with someone helps expand your life. I am going to meet this kind of “someone” today.

As it is already July, I searched for Chinese poems and Zen phrases connected with the month. Then I found surprisingly large number of them containing “clouds”. Here is one of them that means “in summer we can see numerous clouds of different forms”.
