Kaizen Philosophy

Transformation is a natural manifestation of change from "the usual." In Mindfulness practice that transformation is about a life free from suffering or living happily. Transformation may appear to be sudden. Most often, however, the grounds for changes to occur need to be carefully laid -- akin to laying the foundation of building before the frame can be erected.

The Buddha himself took many years to become enlightened; it was not a sudden eureka event under the Bodhi tree. What is critical for successful transformation -- which can involve numerous challenges on the journey and enormous time or investment -- is RESOLVE.

May your resolve to end suffering be strong enough to endure for success. May the incremental steps of kaizen, the Japanese notion of continuous improvement along the way, lead you toward happiness.
