「一花開いて天下春なり」
"One flower blooms, and the world is filled with spring" is an ancient Chinese Zen phrase.
It signifies recognizing the arrival of spring by witnessing the blooming of a single flower, representing understanding the whole from its parts. It can also be interpreted to mean that the appearance of one individual can save the world.
It's also considered a tribute to Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen, suggesting that his teachings blossomed like a flower, bringing about a peaceful spring throughout the world.
Each of us strives to become that "one flower." Just as a single flower sprouting leads to a grand spring, the growth from within is our own journey, influenced significantly by our surroundings.
Taking a moment to pause and appreciate the beauty of that flower, I'm grateful for this present moments it brings.
