Every Time a Good Time

The Zen master Wumen Huikai once wrote, 'A hundred flowers blossom in spring, the moon shines in autumn, there is a fresh breeze in summer, and there is snow in winter. If your mind isn’t occupied with trivial matters, every time is a good time.'

Coincidently, the latest addition to our video library here at the West Wight Sangha is "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring" by the South Korean director Kim Ki-duk. about a Buddhist monastery that floats on a lake in a pristine forest. The story is about the life of a Buddhist monk as he passes through the seasons of his life, from childhood to old age.
