Fall is very poetic. I think this is the reason I can enjoy the season with me reading Japanese classics. Now I'm listening a song of bell crickets. I can forget unpleasant things. Listening the song, I found how much I am controlled by my pell-mell life. They are just singing, they are so lucky. It must be a kind of enlightenment of Zen buddhism.
According to Dogen, a monk who established Japan's Soto sect, people originally achieved enlightenment, but people puzzled by life. There are no problem if we just live but it is very difficult.
According to Nishida Kitaro, the state of mind of competent pianists is a kind of enlightenment(無,mu). That is, they become the music itself. When we unite with act, we and the world become "oneness".
When I talk about it in Japanese philosophy's way, when we are listening the song by bell crickets, our existence become "listening" itself, also become "the song" itself. The bell crickets are just singing. When we just listening their song and become the song itself, human and the bell crickets become "oneness". In this way, the world become "oneness". Rather, the world is originally oneness. Just we distinguish specifically too much.
There are so many fall things. Multiplicity is multiplicity of oneness. If there is something which never allow us to feel the oneness, it is the earthly desires. We are same as the Japanese bell crickets in essence. I think this philosophical speculation is not wrong. A logic transcended logic. All I could do was to marvel at ancient wisdom. I think ancient Japanese looked at seasons through the viewpoint of a kind of enlightenment. And they tell us Japanese seasons is more beautiful than seasons common people see, I think.
Autumn is the season for sports. Now, Track and Field World Championships is holding at Osaka. Osaka is still very hot. But many players are shining with it. Good luck to them!
Well, I hoe you have a nice autumn days.
