Be like Water
〜　Source, Flow, Alignment　〜

　The speed of the times is accelerating and a great wave of change is clearly coming, not only in terms of the divisions and conflicts that are emerging in many parts of the world, but also in terms of global warming, mass layoffs at major tech companies, and the accelerating progress of AI technology.

　It is precisely because we are in such an environment that each and every one of us must firmly connect to our original self and important core values (Source) and, just as a spring from a water source flows as a river, the energy from the spring creates a natural flow (Flow) that connects us to our respective paths in our community, society, and the Earth. The energy from the flow creates a natural flow (Flow), which is then connected to actions (Alignment) in our community, society, and the earth that are connected to our respective paths, and circulates and permeates into the wide ocean. This year's Zen 2.0 theme, "Be like Water - Souece, Flow, Alignment," expresses this idea.

   There is a Zen saying, "A drop of water moistens the earth. A drop of water moistens the earth, nurtures trees, plants, and flowers, and creates the green earth. No matter how the world changes, the fact that a single drop of water is connected to a vein of circulation has remained unchanged since ancient times. By deepening our relationship with our thoughts, feelings, and bodies, each of us can become aware of this "power of a drop of water," connect the world with the power that flows from within, and live freely and unrestrictedly, like water, in this age of change and acceleration. At this year's Zen2.0, we will deepen our awareness of this essence and create a place where we can talk about it together.
