日本语中有一個词……
香事的作用也是如此。你不在工作时点香。你在停下工作时点香。香气本身不是重点,点香的动作才是。
我们推荐一天中的两个香事时刻:
清晨之界: Light a stick of incense when you sit down at your desk. Do not check email. Do not open the laptop. Just sit. The incense takes 15 minutes to burn. Use that time to think about what you are about to do.
黄昏之界: Light a different scent when you close the laptop. Sandalwood, cedar, or aloeswood — something warm and low. The incense marks the end of the workday more effectively than any calendar reminder.
器物——香插、香座、香炉——应该简单。每天应该是同一件器物。仪式需要重复,重复需要一个固定点。香插就是那个点。
