JOTO Glassware Recommendations: You Don’t Need to Pray for 500 Years—A Blooming Tree Simply Meets Its Moment
As the Lunar New Year approaches, do you have new aspirations for yourself? Recently, I’ve rekindled my habit of meditating before bed and diving into Buddhist classics to savor their timeless wisdom. The concept of “缘” (yuan, or destiny) always captivates me. Today, let’s explore the beauty of this idea together, while also discovering JOTO’s stunning products.

Did you know that the Chinese character “缘” has multiple meanings? As a noun, it can refer to edges, causes, or the chance meetings of people and events—what we commonly think of as “destiny.” As a verb, it conveys climbing, surrounding, or relying upon. As a preposition, it expresses causation. Most often, we use it as a noun to highlight the serendipity of life’s connections.

As a verb and preposition, however, it holds deeper meanings of cause and reliance. “缘” is both the origin and the outcome, embodying the cycle of cause and effect. All things arise and fade within this cycle of缘, reminding us to let nature take its course.

The poet Xi Murong once wrote the celebrated poem A Tree in Blossom, capturing the ache of unrequited love:
"How can I let you meet me
In my most beautiful moment?
For this, I prayed before the Buddha for 500 years
Asking him to grant us a bond in this world...
The trembling leaves are my longing for you...
And when you pass me by, unseeing,
The petals that fall behind you, my friend,
Are not flowers but my withered heart.”

Each time I read this poem, I’m deeply moved by its beauty. Yet, it stirs a question within me: “Can destiny be sought after?” If we truly follow the flow of缘, there should be no expectations or guaranteed outcomes. Hoping too strongly for a result can lead to attachment—and eventually heartbreak.

I also find myself questioning the saying, “If flowers bloom, butterflies will come.” It places too much weight on external validation. What if the butterflies never come? Does it diminish the tree’s beauty? Absolutely not. A tree blooms not for others, but as a natural expression of its being. Those who admire it are merely passing by at the right moment. Let缘 remain缘—embrace it, and let go of the attachments it brings.
