The essential element of Zen Buddhism is found in its name, for zen means “meditation.” Zen teaches that enlightenment is achieved through the profound realization that one is already an enlightened being.

Wabi-sabi lies at the heart of Zen philosophy. It’s all about making the very most of life, accepting that things can never be perfect. Wabi means transient beauty, while sabi is the beauty of nature and aging. Together they teach us not just to accept transience and imperfection, but to honor it. There are seven key principles:

  • kanso– simplicity
  • fukinsei– asymmetry or irregularity
  • shibumi– beauty in the understated
  • shizen– naturalness (or nature) and unpretentiousness 
  • yugen– subtle grace
  • datsuzoku– freeness
  • seijaku– tranquility.
You may see some of these Japanese words show up on our designs.  So explaining how they relate to Zen philosophy.

May all beings be happy.
