I have three treasures that I hold and cherish.
The first is compassion,
The second is frugality,
The third is not daring to put myself ahead of everybody.
From the book TAO TE CHING by Lao Tzu, Barnes & Noble Classics.
In my late twenties and thirties, I was in a psychological crisis.
In the environment of raising children as a housewife in a closed social space, I was eager to contribute to society.
Coping with a bloated self and a small community.
A sense of powerlessness.
I was worried and suffering from things I had no control over.
In this life, I came across the Tao of Lao Tzu, a Chinese classic.
It changed the way I perceived the world, and it saved me.
That compassion is life essential.
The English blog offers people who feel stuck.
I introduce local information in Japan in the hope that it will give people who feel stuck new perspectives and ideas.
