Whose is the 'rightness' anyway? — Along with the teachings of Kukai #54

Introduction

Every event in life is a world reflected by your own heart.

Hello.
I am Yukiyo-chan, here to help you gently untie the knots in your heart🌿

Today, I would like to quietly reflect on
'rightness' and 'perspective'
through the words of Kukai.

🌿 Words of Kukai

🌱 Is there only one 'rightness'?

We often find ourselves...

Thinking we are right.
Thinking that person is wrong.

In that way,
we sometimes divide the world.

However,

when we hold onto that 'rightness' tightly,
suffering is sometimes born somewhere within us.

When I touch upon the words of Kukai,

I feel that people are simply seeing their own 'rightness'
from their own respective positions.

That is how it feels to me.

🌿 Differences in the world we see

Even with the same event,

to one person it looks like a 'success',
while to another it looks like a 'failure'.

To one person it is the 'correct answer',
and to another it is a 'mistake'.

But perhaps,

it is not that the event itself has changed, but rather,
that the perspective from which we view it is different.

🌱 The event of failure

Recently,
watching the Riku-Ryu pair,
I suddenly thought.

Things that didn't go as planned.
Moments that didn't go well.

We could call those "failures",

but it is precisely because of that accumulation
that their current performance and way of being exist.

When you think of it that way,

the event of failure itself
may have already been an important part of it all.

🌿 When letting go of correctness

Instead of "which one is correct,"

"what is that showing us?"

When you look at it in that way,

the world starts to look
a little bit softer.

🌱 Everything is in the flow

Events,

are neither good nor bad;
they are just happening.

Within that,

each of us feels,
and each of us finds meaning.

🌸 Conclusion

When we cling to being right,
the world appears divided,

but when we loosen that grip a little,

everything,
might just be realized to be
within a single flow.

Not about whether it is right or wrong,

but simply,
observing things just as they are.

Within that,

there may be true peace of mind.

And that,

is not someone else's righteousness,
but a feeling that quietly exists within oneself, I believe.

Once again today,
here and now 🌿
