KOKORO: Japanese wisdom for a life well lived, is a meditation on impermanence, a deeply personal honouring of grief, and a companion for navigating major changes at any time of life.
Join me, Beth Kempton, on a journey to the deep north of Japan, where together we will hike ancient forests, watch the moon rise over mountains of myth and encounter a host of wise teachers along the way – Noh actors, chefs, taxi drivers, coffee shop owners, poets, philosophers and the spirits that inhabit the land. We will contemplate the true nature of time at one of the world’s strictest Zen temples and nothing will be quite the same again.
We will go in search of answers to some of life’s most insistent questions: How do we find calm in the chaos and beauty in the darkness? How do we let go of the past and stop worrying about the future? What can an awareness of impermanence teach us about living well?
This book is an invitation to cultivate stillness and contentment in an ever-changing, uncertain world. It all begins with the kokoro, a profound Japanese term which represents the intelligent heart, the feeling mind and the embodied spirit of every human being.
