Episode notes
Naikan and Tariki
- Naikan, developed by Yoshimoto Ishin, is a Japanese self-reflection method rooted in the Buddhist concept of tariki (other power).
- It emphasizes our dependence on others, contrasting with the Western focus on self-power.
Naikan as a Mirror
- Naikan helps us see reality more clearly, acting as a mirror to reveal how others perceive us.
- This differs from our own often inaccurate self-perception.
Naikan and Appreciation
- By seeing reality clearly, Naikan fosters authentic appreciation for life.
- Focusing on negative aspects hinders our ability to recognize support and care.
