Both homes and land carry their own identity and memories, which is why cleaning the land is essential. So where should we begin?
Dr. Hew Len answers this question by sharing what happened when he first visited Japan. We do not need to intellectually understand what kind of experiences a certain land has gone through. What matters more is: What are you experiencing right now, through the place where you are standing?
Irritation, excitement, sadness, gratitude, noise, accidents, cold, heat— Whatever it may be, if every experience felt through you is something shared with the land, the Earth, and the universe, then there is cleaning you can do right now. Let’s clean what we feel and what we see.
