    Excellent program; thank you. The phrase: _Relationship Garden_ , was first brought to my attention in a book by Jock McKeen and Bennet Wong in 2005, both who founded The Haven, a spiritual human/Being retreat on BC's Gabriola Island.

    I always feel that relationship should be like a garden. Thank you for introducing the book 🙏

    The original was published in 1996. Mine is a second printing released in 2000. Both Jock and Ben lived together not as gay men, but, as an experiment in deep relationship. @@yenimarliana9939

    My book is the second edition released in 2000. The original was from 1996. Jock and Ben lived together as an experiment, not as gay men, but, in an attempt to determine what makes a deep relationship of any kind. There are multiple works by them available from the Haven.@@yenimarliana9939

    As with all things, wise discernment is necessary in applying or offering this teaching. One must know where one is to know whether more or less is required to achieve balance. For an uptight, Type A personality, it would be beneficial to embrace wabi sabi and, therefore reduce anxiety and stress when things "go wrong," break, or end (as all inevitably does). However, for a lazy, apathetic slacker, the philosophy of wabi sabi might be used as an excuse and justification. Notice that, traditionally, the Japanese are a highly disciplined, patient, and diligent people. They honour skill and expertise acquired only after years and years of study and practice. This is evident in the exceptional quality and technical excellence of their artwork, music, textiles, horticulture, architecture, etc. It's easy to see that in a culture like that, where people are encouraged to aim for perfection, it would feel like everything, one's own worth, is riding on attaining it. So wabi sabi balances that by acknowledging that, in fact, perfection is not attainable, and that's both okay and beautiful. That is not the mindset everywhere. There seems to be an epidemic of "who cares?" and "why bother?" and "whatever 🙄." And even a perverse celebration and adoration of poor quality junk, lack of interest and pride in surroundings, hygiene, home, work. For these, wabi sabi guides in the opposite direction of what is needed for balance. For them, self respect, high standards, and discipline are needed to cultivate the conditions necessary for true and lasting contentment. I have come to understand that there is no one-size-fits-all teaching, no one recipe that will work for everyone, even though, ultimately, we all strive for the same thing. There are countless skillful means to find happiness, peace, enlightenment, whatever you like to call it. The trick is to honestly and courageously discover the precise combination for YOUR heart and soul. What works perfectly well for someone else may not work for you. Wabi sabi is an example of an excellent philosophy that can be life-changing and very helpful indeed. But one person's medicine is another's poison. Be careful not to zig when what you really need is to zag.

    You left out the IMPORTANT imperfections: Crime, violence, hatred, assault, rape, wars, corrupt politicians, incest, etc...Embrace that. All of us are capable of these.

    Thank you for this video, is very informative on the Eastern wisdom, and am looking forward to see more. 🙂 Some thoughts.. how would be this same video showing instead, old people contrasting young, ill people with healthy ones, dead as well as new born., or just a "boring" image of nature juxtaposed with the beautiful ones exposed here...lets say an experience of Wabi Sabi on our daily life, instead of an altar prepared image of nature. It seems challenging, but very interesting and authentic one to pursue a solution.
