Today it is Saterday. You may be relaxing at home.
As you are interested in Buddhism, I will introduce you today the thought of Buddhism " Mujo"
Nothing exists foreever.Everyting is fleeting.
This is the thoughts of Buddihissm.
We call it " Mujo"..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impermanence
Everything, whether physical or mental, is a formation (Saṅkhāra), has a dependent origination and is impermanent. It arises, changes and disappears
Japanese culture is deeply influenced by Buddhism, which contains the thoughts of all things constantly changing.
All the things connected with ordinary daily life can only continue and exist for a short time..
The cherry blossoms live only for a very short period , and we find the beauty in their short life.
We can say that in the Japanese mentality, this short period in full bloom and the beauty of these cherry blossoms can be compared to human life.
Sakura reminds us how human life is short and fragile,but then again, so beautiful.
Relationships between people are also fleeting.
Usually our mind is too busy focusing on diary trivial things and everyday works.
Feeling and emotions are so changeable..
Seldom seen, soon forgotten.
The opening sentence of Hōjōki (written 1212) is famous in Japanese literature as an expression of mujō
"The current of the flowing river does not cease, and yet the water is not the same water as before. The foam that floats on stagnant pools, now vanishing, now forming, never stays the same for long. So, too, it is with the people and dwellings of the world."
