“The Moon Reflected on the Surface of a Lake”

The mind is truly a mystery.
Even if you read the same book or watch the same movie,
The way you perceive and feel it varies from you and other people.

It all depends on each individual’s mind.

The mind is always in turmoil,
But the world seen by this mind
Is probably not the true one.
The true image can only be seen
By a clear and quiet mind.

Like the reflection of the moon on the surface of a lake,
A ripple on the water will distort the shape of the moon.

At the end of the day,
Calm your surging heart.
Turn this day into a golden day.
There is no such thing as a wasted day.
Compose your mind,
Look back on the day serenely.
This is the alchemy of the mind.

「湖面に映る月」

心とは実に不思議だ
同じ本を読んでも、同じ映画を観ても
捉え方や感じ方は千差万別
一人として同じではない

すべては心の為せること

心は常に揺れ動いている
しかし揺れ動く心で見える世界は
真実の姿ではないだろう
真実の姿は透明で静かな
心にしか映らない

湖面に映る月のように
ひとたび波立てば
月は月の姿を留めない

一日の終わり
自らの波立った心を鎮める
今日一日を金色の一日に変える
無駄な一日など決してない
自らの心を鎮め
一日を冷静に振り返ること
それが心の錬金術
