The Book of Ichigo Ichie: The Art of Making the Most of Every Moment, the Japanese Way
Learn to make every moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with this definitive guide to the Japanese art of ichigo ichie, from the bestselling authors of Ikigai.
‘Ikigai urges individuals to simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them’ (Marie Kondo)
Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever-an idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie. Often used to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or ‘ceremony of attention’, whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment.
From this age-old concept comes a new kind of mindfulness. In The Book of Ichigo Ichie, you will learn to use all five senses to anchor yourself in the present.
Every one of us contains a key that can open the door to attention, harmony with others, and love of life. And that key is ichigo ichie.

5 things I learn from this book is:
1) Each experience is unique and can't be repeated in the same way. Live and appreciate the present moment.
2) Seize every moment and be an opportunist
3) Find your purpose of living, persevere and grow your passion.
4) What matter isn't how many more years we might live, but what we will do with the time we have left.
5) Be you. You are unique. Celebrate imperfection!

I started reading this book to calm myself during times of emotional turmoil. Thus, this may not come across as a review, but a constellation of feelings that this book evoked in me. The country is in a state of unrest witnessing the gory dance of death and destruction. People are unable to hold on to any ounce of positivity. It actually makes you feel a little guilty for enjoying a fleeting moment of frivolity in times like this. But we all need to do what we need to do to preserve our sanity, even if it to help others in dire times.
Ichigo Ichie is the art of practicing how to stay in the moment; how to consider every moment, every opportunity a beautiful treasure. We have read quotes like "absence makes the heart grow fonder", or "we do not realise the worth of someone/something until it is gone". Which is why you need to practice Ichigo Ichie to know, to realise that what you are experiencing at the moment, may not ever happen again.
Even if you eat the same meal at the place on two consecutive days, your mindset will be different on both the days. The weather may be different on both the days. You may be served by a different waiter or sit on a different table. No moment in time can be exactly replicated. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge that no moment will ever occur again.
Beautiful things in life are fleeting and must not be postponed. I am sure there are a lot of things in this book that can be taken as the key message but for me, it will be this. Life seldom turns out to be how you planned it. The uncertainty, the transient nature of things is perhaps what makes them more precious. We are often caught up in our past or dreaded about the future. In all this time traveling that we do in our heads, we are unable to pay attention to what is right in front of us. We hear but we don't listen, we look but we don't see, we feel but I don't think we experience. Appreciating what is here and now, is so much more important than spending time in your head. If we are able to achieve this state of Ichigo Ichie, we may actually find immense joy even in the mundane tasks of our everyday routine.
This book is an easy to read guide to understand, and practice the concept of Ichigo Ichie [much like Ikigai, another gem by the authors] which will make you look at the issues at hand a little differently than how you have been viewing them, if nothing else.

تا به حال شده غرق در انجام دادن کاری باشید و متوجه گذر زمان نشوید؟ شده غرق در زمان شوید و ماهیت وجودی زمان را بهکلی از یاد ببرید؟
کتاب ایچی گو ایچی یه، به تعریف این لحظات خاص در زندگی میپردازد. اصطلاح ژاپنی «ایچی گو ایچی یه» دقیقاً درمورد لحظاتی صحبت میکند که ما زمان را از یاد میبریم. در این دنیای پر از قدرت و خشونت، هرکسی نیاز به توقف، مکث و بازیابی حس توجه و تمرکز دارد. اما چطور و از چه راهی میتوانیم عواطف درونی خود را عمیقاً احساس کنیم؟
هکتور گارسیا و فرانسس میرالس، نویسندگان کتاب «ایکیگای» علاقه عجیبی به فرهنگ ژاپنی دارند. این دو محقق و نویسنده با ایجاد تعامل در فرهنگ ژاپنی و تجربه رسوم و سنتهای ژاپنی مثل ذن و مدیتیشن، آنها را با زبانی ساده به فرهنگ غربی انتقال میدهند.
ژاپنیها برای هر احساسی اصطلاحی ایجاد کردهاند. هر تجربهای در زندگی احساسی را در ما برمیانگیزد که بهخوبی امکان بروز آن را نداریم؛ اما ژاپنیها بهخوبی از پس این کار برمیآیند و احساسات درونی انسان را در غالب یک کلمه شرح میدهند. اصطلاح «ایچی گو ایچی یه» لحظهای را شرح میدهد که در حال تجربهکردن آنیم و میدانیم که دیگر هرگز آن لحظه دوباره رخ نمیدهد.
ایچی گو ایچی یه میگوید اگر لحظهای را بدون لذت بردن بگذرانیم، آن لحظه را برای همیشه از دست دادهایم. هر تجربه و هر ملاقات در طول زندگی ما، همانند گنجی نایاب است که هرگز به همان نحو تکرار نخواهد شد. بر اساس این اصطلاح، ما طوری باید از هر لحظه زندگیمان لذت ببریم که فکر کنیم هر روز، ممکن است آخرین روز از زندگیمان باشد.
جایی در کتاب میگوید: «اگر ذات خارقالعادهٔ هر لحظه را در نظر بگیریم، درمییابیم که هر رویارویی موقعیتی است که تنها یکبار در زندگی رخ میدهد.»
ایچی گو ایچی یه، ما را به این آگاهی میرساند که هر لحظه در زندگی ممکن است تنها فرصت طلایی ما باشد. با بازیابی و حس کردن عمیق لحظه حال، امکان استفاده کامل از این فرصت برای ما وجود دارد. متوقف کردن برنامهریزی مدام برای آینده و تفکر درمورد گذشته، اولین گام در این راه است.
همیشه در زندگی به دنبال راهی بودهام که من را به بیداری همیشگی نزدیک کند. راههای مختلفی را امتحان کردم. مدیتیشن، تخلیه افکار و پیادهروی همیشه به من کمک کردهاند. اما با خواندن این کتاب به این موضوع پی بردم که حتی نوشیدن چای با کسی که دوستش دارم، میتواند لحظهای خاص و تکرارنشدنی باشد و من باید عمیقاً در آن لحظه خاص حضور داشته باشم؛ چون هیچوقت آن لحظه به همان شکل تکرار نخواهد شد.
کتاب با ارائه راهکارهایی ما را برای قرارگرفتن در لحظه حال یاری میکند. با آموزش تکنیکهایی ساده با کمک مکتب ذن و انجام مراقبه، تجربه خلوت کردن ذهن را برای خواننده به ارمغان میآورد. خواندن این کتاب به ما این پیام بزرگ را منتقل میکند که خوشبختی یعنی نخواستن چیزی از بیرون خودمان و قدردانی از چیزی که زندگی به ما عرضه میکند. ایچی گو ایچی یه یعنی قرارگرفتن در لحظه بیزمانی. لحظه ناب حضور در دنیا و حس کردن و لمس کردن و بوییدن چیزها انگار که برای آخرین بار است. ژاپنیها حتی برای زمان خداحافظی با گفتن ایچی گو ایچی یه لحظات خاص را برای هم آرزو میکنند. پس: ایچی گو ایچی یه!

Ichigo Ichie เป็นหนังสือที่ว่าด้วยการให้ความสำคัญกับปัจจุบัน มันคล้ายๆ กับหลักทางพุทธศาสนา ที่พยายามบอกเราว่า ให้เราตั้งจิตให้อยู่กับปัจจุบัน แต่ Ichigo Ichie อาจจะมากกว่านั้น มันคือการที่เราดื่มด่ำกับสิ่งที่อยู่ตรงหน้า ณ ปัจจุบันให้มากที่สุด เป็นการตอกย้ำว่า ณ เวลานี้ (ตอนนี้) เกิดขึ้นเพียงครั้งนี้ครั้งเดียวเท่านั้น ไม่อาจย้อนกลับมา ณ ช่วงเวลานี้ได้อีก จงอยู่กับมันซะ จงเก็บบรรยากาศ เก็บความรู้สึก เก็บทุกเสี้ยววินาทีตอนนี้ให้ดี เพราะคุณจะไม่มีโอกาสได้เจอสิ่งที่คุณกำลังเจออยู่ตอนนี้อีกแล้ว
เราชอบเล่มนี้ค่ะ! ชอบมากด้วย อ่านไปไม่กี่หน้าก็ตกหลุมรักทันที 55555 คือนอกจากหนังสือเล่มนี้จะพาเราไปรู้จักกับปรัญชาญี่ปุ่นที่ชื่อว่า Ichigo Ichie อย่างลึกซึ้งแล้ว ยังพาเราไปเรียนรู้ปรัชญาอื่น ๆ ของชาวญี่ปุ่นที่แฝงอยู่ในธรรมชาติ และสะท้อนออกมาในรูปแบบของวัฒนธรรมอันงดงามของญี่ปุ่น รวมไปถึงขั้นตอนและวิธีดึงสติให้อยู่กับปัจจุบันด้วยประสาทสัมผัสทุกรูปแบบ ทำให้เรารู้สึกว่า หนทางสู่การมีความสุขเล็กๆ น้อยๆ กับปัจจุบันมันไม่ได้ยากขนาดนั้น
ใครที่ชอบอ่านงานแนวปรัชญาญี่ปุ่น อย่าง 'อิคิไก' หรือ 'คินสึงิ' ต้องลองอ่านเล่มนี้ 😁

I wish that I had words to express just how much I adored this book.
Reading this book is like taking a breath of fresh air, and I'm not kidding when I say I felt zen in every single way as I made my way through this book. And I can only imagine that our reality would be a lovely place to live in if only everyone practised the concept of ichigo ichie.

“Одоо цагтаа байх” буюу ичиго-ичие. Өнгөрсний шаналалгүй, ирээдүйн зовинолгүй яг одоодоо өнөөдрийг мэдэрцгээе.
Тус номны жишээнүүд үнэхээр сонирхолтой, бас цагаа олж сонссон мөчүүд байлаа. Учир нь би төвлөрөхдөө муу болсоор л байна. Уг нь багаасаа оёдлын машины дуу, эмээ өвөө нарын хөөрөлдөөн, радиогоор мэдээ явж байхад, гэрэлтэй орчинд “бүрхүүл” үүсгэнэ гэгчээр маш сайн төвлөрдөг байлаа. Ухаалаг утас, ар араасаа бөөндөх мэдээ, сенсааци, санаа зовинолт, хийсэн болон хийгээгүй ажил гэхчилэн маш олон зүйлсээс болоод би одоодоо байхаа хэзээнээс больчихсон юм бол? Найзуудтайгаа уулзангаа утсаа гүйлгэн, эд эрхтэн шиг болсон утсаа 00 орохдоо ч авч орсоор…
Юм амжуулж байна гэж санаад чихэвчээ зүүнгээ замаа хороон алхахдаа шувуудын чимээнээс өөрийгөө хаачихна, хэн нэгний надаас асуусан асуултыг огт сонсоогүй өнгөрсөн удаа ч цөөнгүй болсоор…
Яг юу хийж байгаа, хэнтэй хамт байгаадаа оршихгүй болсоор байгаа өнөө цагт хүн бүрийн унших ном зүй ёсоор орох ном байна.
Номын таалагдсан хэсэг:
Present- одоо/ бэлэг гэсэн 2 утгыг заадаг нь одоодоо байх нь бэлэг гэлтэй.
Memento mori - үхэлдээ бэлдэх хуанли буюу амьдарсан өдрөө тэмдэглэх
Гүй, Лола Гүй киноны талаар эрвээхэйн эффектийн тухай гээд багадаа үзсэн киногоо хайж олж үзэх жагсаалт нэгээр нэмэв.
Бас “хэрвээ” гэсэн асуултыг өөртөө үе үе тавьж байхыг сануулав. Шидэт асуулт- Хэрвээ.
Энэхүү асуултанд хариулснаар бидний бүтээмж нэмэгдэнэ. Би ажлаасаа залхаад яах ёстойгоо мэдэхгүй байна…
-Хэрвээ би ажлаасаа чөлөө авах юм уу хэдэн сар амьдрах мөнгө цуглуулаад өөр шинэ зүйл эрэлхийлбэл яах бол?
-Би сэтгэлээр унаж байна. Хэрвээ би хэдэн сар өөр хүн шиг дүр эсгэн амьдарвал яах бол? гэх мэт асуултанд хариулаад үзээрэй.

SINOPSIS: este libro nos introduce en la palabra Ichigo Ichie, vivir el presente y libreranos de la cárrega del pasado y del futuro que no nos permiten avanzar, apreciar el cada momento como si fuera único.
Habla de varios personajes como Steve Jobs y como él usando el zen aprendido de un maestro Japonés consiguió la clave del éxito.
Mejorar las relaciones con los demás y con uno mismo, usando la técnica del mindfulness entre otros.
OPINIÓN: creo que es un libro muy necesario, ayuda a ver las cosas de forma distinta, centrándonos en el presente, en el momento que estamos viviendo y dejar atrás los sentimientos del pasado o del futuro.
Las vivencias que hemos vivido en el pasado nos han llevado a ser quién somos hoy, pero no debemos olvidar que el pasado ya pasó y que el ahora es lo que importa. Porque un instante es único y no se repetirá, incluso una reunión con amigos será distinta la próxima vez, porque cada uno habrá vivido cosas distintas en ese periodo de tiempo.
Sin duda es una filosofía de vida que comparto desde hace tiempo e intento aplicarla en mi día a día.

افراد چیزی را فراموش میکنند که شما میگویید و افراد کاری را که میکنید فراموش میکنند اما افراد هیچوقت فراموش نمیکنند شما چه احساسی کردید.
January 14, 2021
It's probably too late for me to start learning Japanese, but it's at the top of my list if I end up in Language School in heaven.
I'm fascinated with languages. I'm especially fascinated with words in languages that do not appear to have a good equivalent in English.
One of these words is ichigo ichie.
I ran across ichigo ichie last week in a book called, appropriately, The Book of Ichigo Ichie. I'm fascinated with ideas about happiness, and ichigo ichie is a word that centers on happiness. It is a Japanese word that means the art of making the most of every moment, and that's what this little book is all about.
The authors begin by reminding us that life is impermanent. My wonderful friend Diana passed away this week. She was my age. I know that life is impermanent.
The authors share the secrets they have found for making the most of every moment from the Japanese---paying attention...listening...looking...touching...tasting...smelling...returning to now...being mindful...slowing down.
Here I go. I'm making the most of every moment. Starting now.

Wonderful book. Gives a new insight on living in the present moment.

This was an intensely calming book. Focusing on the moment, keeping your emotions in check, and taking time to really listen, The Book of Ichigo Ichie suggests that in the midst of this fast-paced, consumer-based society, it is more than worth it to take a breath and honor this one moment. I tend to live in the future and the past, so this book was a great reminder to really just take it all in, right here and now. To try to find contentment, to not want for more. I think I'll be taking a lot of lessons from this book and applying them to my own life--the authors preach a kind of living and lifestyle that I myself want to achieve but am having a hard time doing, personally.
What I also appreciated about this book was their glimpse into other spiritualities and ways of living, showing that there's no "one way" to adhere to ichigo ichie, but in fact many different ways that intersect in order to create a zen, simplistic, and peaceful life.
I'd definitely recommend this to those who find enlightenment in Marie Kondo's works--find what sparks joy in your life and find that joy in a single moment.
Review cross-listed here!

I'd definitely recommend this to those who find enlightenment in Marie Kondo's works--find what sparks joy in your life and find that joy in a single moment.

ইচিগো ইচির অর্থ এরকমঃ "আমরা এই মুহূর্তে যাকিছুর অভিজ্ঞতা লাভ করছি তা আর কখনও ঘটবে না।" অর্থাৎ "একবার, একবার সাক্ষাৎ, একটি সুযোগ" ইত্যাদি।
Live the moment like ichigo ichie...
আমরা "Be in the moment" হয়ে সময় কাটাতে ভুলে গেছি। হাতে স্মার্ট ফোন আর তাতে ডুবে থাকাটাই মুখ্য হয়ে গেছে। সময় আপেক্ষিক আর প্রতিটা মুহূর্তই ইচিগো ইচি।
আলবার্ট আইন্সটাইন সময়ের আপেক্ষিকতা ব্যাখ্যা করেছিলেন এইভাবেঃ
"এক মিনিটের জন্য একটা গরম চুলার উপর হাত রাখুন, এক ঘন্টা মনে হবে। আবার এক ঘন্টা একজন সুন্দরী মেয়ের সাথে বসে থাকলে মনে হবে এক মিনিট। এটাই আপেক্ষিকতা।"
We should be in the moment...
ব���টা পড়ে আমি আমার লাইফের ইচিগো ইচি মোমেন্ট গুলা মনে করার ট্রাই করছি। হেসেছি। সুখী বোধ হয়েছে এটা ভেবে যে খারাপ সময়ের মাঝেও অনেক ভাল সময় কেটেছে যেগুলো ভুলেই গেছিলাম। মন ভাল হয়ে গেছে বলতে গেলে। এর পর যখনই ভাল্লাগেনা সুর মনে আসবে তখনই ইচিগো ইচি মোমেন্টগুলো স্মরণ করবো ❤️
সুস্থ একটা বই। ইংরেজি অনুবাদ টা পড়ার জন্য রেকমেন্ড করবো। বাংলা অনুবাদটা খুব একটা সুবিধার না 😑

A cute little book that inspires/instructs in how and why to focus on the present moment. The writing is soothing, and even though I've read many books on mindfulness, I found some useful bits to take away.

وقتی سعی در کالبدشکافیلحظه ها داریم، درمعرض خطر کشتن آن لحظه خاص قرار میگیریم.
ایچی گو ایچی یه از ما میخواهد بدون هیچ گونه توقعی خودمان را به آنچه درحال تجربه اش هستیم بسپاریم، هرچه درحال رخ دادن است بهترین چیزی است که تجربه اش میکنیم زیرا همین حالا در حال تجربه اش هستیم.

Too little of one thing, too much of everything

Ein wunderbares Buch über die Bedeutung den Augenblick zu schätzen und mit offenen Augen durch das Leben zu gehen. Viele Punkte waren mir jedoch bereits in ähnlicher Form aus "Jetzt" von Eckhard Tolle bekannt. Es wäre sinnvoll gewesen, die Bücher in umgekehrter Reihenfolge zu lesen, da "Ichigo-ichie" eher als Einstiegsbuch in die Materie zu verstehen ist. Trotzdem zu empfehlen, da es sich einfach und flüssig lesen lässt.

what a great book full of beautiful wisdom! ✨✨✨
some of the great concepts from my current read (Ichigo Ichie) that are beautiful lessons to apply in life:
1. Ichigo Ichie - the present moment
2. Kaika - when something unknown blossoms within you
3. Mankai - transorming Kaika to to its full potential
4. Ikigai + Kaika + Time = Mankai
5. Zazen (serenity) - sitting in zen
6. Dukkha - suffering (knowing things will always change)
7. The Second arrow - the pain you allow urself to feel/ linger
8. Mono No Aware - being aware of the passage of time
9. The Hedonic Treadmill - never feeling satisfied
10. Premeditation Malorum - the premeditation of evils
11. Carpe Diem - seize the day!
12. Memento Mori -remember that you will die
13. The Butterfly effect - a butterfly beating its wings in HK can unleash a storm in NY.
14. Amor Fati - love of Fate. Learning to see the beauty of things also allows us to make hem beautiful
15. Synchronicity - the co incidence of 2 or 3 events that have no cause-effect but are clearly related to each other.
16. Chanoyu - a call for us to pay attention to all of our five senses
17. Kintsugi - gold lines in between cracks
18. Wabi Sabi - beauty in imperfection
19. Komorebi - the play of sunbeams filtering through tree branches
20. MBSR - mindfulness based stress reduction by John Kabat-Zinn
21. Mhetta Bhavana - loving kindness (5 steps)
22. Metacognition - using the mind to study the mind
23. Satori - the zen vision of awakening/ enlightenment (deeper and more lasting transformation)
24. Kensho - seeing your own nature through a direct tunnel (abrupt and momentary)
25. Einstein’s Relativity of Time - flow/ timelessness

The concept itself of ichigo ichie is wonderful; the idea being that one trains their mind to appreciate the present and not dwell on the past or future. However, this book is so poorly written that I can’t give it the 3 stars I would like.
It’s written as though the author was running out of time and trying meet the publishing deadline. It’s a strange mix of lists, random and irrelevant anecdotes, and meditation practice posed as fact. Each new passage was jarring to read and each time the authors would go on a tangent about Steve Jobs or some such, I felt myself becoming less and less connected with the message. The writing hardly goes into any actual detail of mediation practice and instead focuses on superfluous details that most readers would know going into this: I didn’t need to read 5 chapters about what the 5 senses are (I wish I were exaggerating here. I know what sight is but I don’t know how it connected to the underlying message).
I could have read this same content with a higher standard of writing in a listicle from Cosmo.

Keeping the singular nature of each moment in mind is an important principle to live by and can have great impact on one's life. Based on the book's title, tagline, and introduction, I thought this book was going to be a poetic exploration of this concept.
Instead, this book is was an aggregation of loosely related anecdotes, stories, summaries of other books, and modern pseudoscience, all with very little poeticism.
The exploration in each chapter was incredibly superficial and read like fluff you might find in a moderately interesting Reddit post. This is the Malcolm-Gladwellification of book writing at its worst.

"إن حياة أي إنسان هي عبارة عن عملية إبداع مستمرة تبدأ من لحظة ولادته"
قرأت النسخة العربية منه. كانت رحلة ممتعة جدًا.. تُذكرني هذه الكتب بالبديهيات، باللحظات العادية جدًا، التي يجب أن انتبه لها دون أن تفلت من يدي في دوامة الحياة.

A minimalistic text on a tenet of Zen philosophy that emphasizes living, celebrating, and treasuring every moment by embracing the impermanence.
I find myself with a lot of questions after reading, which may indicate incompleteness of the book, or the answers are to be discovered through self-reflection and practice of the art.

Although I appreciated the little tidbits of cultural information, it lowkey felt imposing. I feel like how one be present is subjective, here they make it sound like I have to be *this* or a certain way in order to consider myself present. Idk if that even made sense but it is what it isss 🥱

Este libro fué agradable de leer. Con todo ese positivismo y todo esa atmósfera "zen" nos invita a reflexionar en nuestro modo de pensar y la manera en que vivimos la vida. Son de esos libros que nos dan un "reset" a nuestro espíritu. Los autores nos guiarán por diferentes experiencias y nos dan ejemplos de acuerdo a lo que significa el "ichigo-ichie". También nos darán técnicas en las que podremos practicar en nuestro día a día.
En resumen aprenderemos que cada momento hay que vivirlo de manera única y convertir ese momento memorable. Y para eso debemos usar todos nuestros sentidos para vivir de verdad. Aprender crear conexiones con otros, lo que nos rodea y con nosotros mismos. Dejar de centrarnos en el pasado ni en el futuro, pues de esa manera no alcanzaremos la felicidad plena.
Al final del libro los autores nos enumera los diez principios del "Ichigo-ichie" para vivir una vida plena y nos exponen las siguientes preguntas:
¿Qué pasaría si después de leer este libro aplicaras cambios reales a tu forma de vivir?
¿Qué pasaría entonces con tu vida?...creo esto dependerá del destino que queramos tomar y cómo queramos vivir nuestra vida. Puedo decir que este libro a logrado su cometido y es bueno que sea leído para dar ese "reset" a nuestra mente.

Bardzo przystępny poradnik na temat życia według pięknej, japońskiej filozofii, według której żadne wydarzenie w naszym życiu już się nie powtórzy, więc warto czerpać radość nawet z prozaicznych aspektów naszej codzienności.
Książka jest podzielona na krótkie, treściwe rozdziały. Nie jest przegadana, jednak mnie w stu procentach nasyciła. Jest pozbawiona zbędnych słów, co jest ogromnym plusem lektury. Wszelkie naukowe terminy nawiązujące do japońskiej kultury są wytłumaczone, przez co trudno napotkać jakikolwiek element nieścisłości.
Uważam, że można z tej pozycji wyciągnąć wiele cennych lekcji. Niektóre z nich wymagają trochę czasu i pracy nad sobą, jednak zdecydowana większość jest na wyciągnięcie naszej ręki.
Ichigo ichie!

Ichigo Ichie - that this exact moment where I’m typing thee words into Goodreads, and smiling, this exact moment will never come back. That there’s beauty in impermanence, and therefore why not just be fully in this moment.
Carpe diem is the closest Latin, and by relation English, expression of Ichigo Ichie. But what made Ichigo Ichie come alive for me was in the way that Garcia and Miralles have explained it. Never preachy, but lots of ideas, ways to be “Ichigo Ichie.”
So much of the book resonated deeply, but if I had to share one thing that really came home to me, it was “you are not your thoughts.” A part of the mindfulness and meditation that drive Ichigo Ichie, is to allow every thought into the mind, without getting attached to it. Without fighting it. Thoughts may be good, bad, embarrassing, joyful, and the way to deal with this variety of thought is to remember that “you are not your thoughts” :-)
Ichigo Ichie. Easy read, packed with insight.
