Seasonal Letter, September: “Knowing What Is Enough”

Jigenji Temple – Seasonal Letters “Knowing What Is Enough”

Starting with the new moon on September 11, the moon grows fuller day by day.

In Japan, the moon just before it turns full is the mid-autumn harvest moon ― this year, the 25th. As the moon fills and empties again, what does it bring to mind for you?

Three meals a day and a bowl of miso soup.

Sometimes, that alone is enough to feel happy.

― This Month’s Words from the Dai-Ajari ―

This is a time to remember what it means to know we have enough, and to share what we have with one another.

Ryojun Shionuma, from Yorisou Kokoro (A Heart That Stands by Others)
