Do-o Raku is life’s enjoyment. It involves holding an appreciation in the moment for whatever is happening. Observing Tao can help one to see that life is constantly in flux and always changing. This understanding can help support the idea that while you might be challenged one minute, it could change in the next. It reminds me of a saying that “this too shall change”. Always find gratitude in the moment – good or bad because in the next instance it will change.
I think this is a good way to live – find the gratitude and perhaps at the heart of Do-o Raku it is inviting us to find enjoyment in the moment despite what that moment might look life because life is always changing anyway.
George Ohasawa, author of Macrobiotics: An invitation to Health and Happiness invites the aforementioned thought with the concept of Do-o Raku as a “hobby” where life is a game - something to be enjoyed. It is not about winning or losing but about how well you play.
So if life becomes a game where you play with gratitude and enjoyment perhaps balance can be attained in mind-body and spirit without the ‘work’. This I will ponder more but I am truly leaning into this concept already.
