Once a person understands the rise and fall of all phenomena, then experiencing the worst that human life can give does not make one tremble. You know that it’s something passing just as the wind passes your face. You don’t know where that wind comes from, and you can’t tell where that wind is going. All you know is that a wind is blowing. You don’t know when that wind is going to end, nor if it will get stronger or weaker. Like the weather, the forecast for moods is “changeable".

When disaster struck Japan in the 13th century, a wise old man took to the hills in search of inner peace. Living in a small grass hut isolated from the world, Kamo no Chomei put brush to paper and wrote the poetic masterpiece Hōjōki about the transcendent power of simplicity and self-reliance. This classic work of Japanese literature argues that clinging to possessions, status, and social recognition only brings suffering.
