kokoro [n.] intelligent heart, feeling mind

One year. Two devastating losses. Three sacred Japanese mountains. A major
life transition, a heart full of grief and a revelation that changes
everything.

Join Japanologist Beth Kempton on a pilgrimage through rural Japan in search
of answers to some of life's biggest questions: How do we find calm in the
chaos and beauty in the darkness? How do we let go of the past and stop
worrying about the future? What can an awareness of impermanence teach us
about living well?

Together you will journey to the deep north of Japan, hike ancient forests,
watch the moon rise over mountains of myth and encounter a host of wise
teachers along the way - Noh actors, chefs, taxi drivers, coffee shop owners,
poets, philosophers and the spirits that inhabit the land. You will
contemplate the true nature of time at one of the world's strictest Zen
temples and nothing will be quite the same again.

This book is an invitation to cultivate stillness and contentment in an ever-
changing, uncertain world. It all begins with the kokoro, a profound Japanese
term which represents the intelligent heart, the feeling mind and the embodied
spirit of every human being.

To explore the kokoro is to explore the very essence of what it means to be
human in this tough yet devastatingly beautiful world. When you learn to live
guided by the light in your kokoro, everything changes, and anything is
possible.
