Hello! I’m Katsuya Yasuda from Yasuda Consulting.
“AUN” is one of the Zen proverbs and very familiar is Japan.
“A” means the root of everything and “UN” means the goal of everything.
There isn’t anything between “A” and “UN.”
It means that the relationship of two things/persons is very simple and doesn’t need any explanations.
Do you have “AUN” friends?
Hello! I’m Katsuya Yasuda from Yasuda Consulting.
We already have everything.
So you don’t have anything you should do.
Do you realize this? It means you are noble.
Before putting on your makeup, look at your face.
You will find yourself shinning.
Hello! I’m Katsuya Yasuda from Yasuda Consulting.
Are you thinking about your life?
Do you have a good idea for improving your life?
Do you know a good method to change your life?
Thinking about such ideas or methods is no meaning.
We wake up, walk, eat, work, hang out, sit and go to bed everyday.
Keeping on them is our life. It is on the way of our life.
Hello! I am Katsuya Yasuda from Yasuda Consulting.
I will introduce Zen proverb “Gahoujin.”
It simply means that I meet someone.
The real meaning is that meeting someone is vital for everyone.
We can learn from someone because everyone has different sense of values and different way of thinking.
We should value diversity.
Hello. I am Katsuya Yasuda from Yasuda Consulting.
I will introduce 5th Zen proverb “Sottaku no ki” today.
Sottaku means baby chicken breaking egg shell from inside and mother chicken pecking from outside.
Ki means timing.
If timing of breaking and pecking is not good , baby can’t be born and might be died. So timing is very important for birth.
We can replace “baby and mother” to “teacher and student” or “boss and subordinate.”
In any case, Making effort from baby and Support from mother are important and both must do one’s best.
I will introduce ZEN proverb ‘Kounryusui.’ (floating with the tide)
It means “be serene and not particular about” or “be free.”
Is it difficult for you?
Don’t think about and don’t make effort.
Be as you are.
Todai’s Zen proverb is “Myoujutanagokoroniari.”
What is your treasure? Are you looking for it?
This proverb means you have already had your the best treasure in your mind.
Most of us don’t realize it so keep looking for.
I introduce next Zen proverb “Kissako.”
It only means “Here’s some tea.” but includes Japanese “OMOTENASHI” mind.
In business cases, many people will visit at your office with many reasons for example sales, agreement, and apology.
Let’s say “Hear’s some tea” in any case.
Can you say it even if a guest is an unbidden?
I will introduce Zen(Japanese-chinese buddhism) proverb. First is “Nichi nichi kore koujitsu.” It means “Everyday is a good day.”
Can you say “It is good today” no matter what happens?
Today is difference from every day of the past. You can enjoy it.
Keep smiling so you can make others happy!
