RE: The Moment of Selflessness 無我の時間 [English and Japanese]

物の哀れ, isn't it? It is from attachment and desire and ego. 無常. It is considered normal in Buddhism and part of the human experience. We are just cautioned not to get too attached to the feeling, to just be aware of it and practice allowing it to go.

物の哀れ

そうですね!Yes, this phrase resonates with me these days, especially in autumn. The concept of the Heian period would definitely help me explain my thoughts and feelings. Arigatou @dbooster! The 春はあけぼの (枕草子) taught me about 物の哀れ and 無常 when I was a student. I think I will read it again today! Your message helped my deep thought! Thank you ;)
