Tattoos serve as personal expressions, etching permanent reminders on our bodies. Recently, I made the bold decision to ink a tattoo on my hand—a symbolic journey encapsulating the essence of “一期一会” (ichigo ichi-e), treasuring each moment as a unique encounter.

The Meaning Behind “一期一会”:

“一期一会” embodies treasuring life’s fleeting moments. It reminds me to appreciate every encounter, relationship, and experience as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This philosophy inspires mindful living and cherishing the present.

This tattoo acts as a constant companion, guiding me on my path, reminding me to embrace the beauty of impermanence and to savor each passing moment with a full heart.

Disclaimer: The decision to get a tattoo is deeply personal. Before getting a tattoo, it is important to carefully consider the design, placement, and long-term implications. Additionally, ensure you choose a reputable tattoo artist who understands your vision and executes it safely and professionally.

The Intersection of Atheism, Science, and Belief: Reflections Inspired by Kushi

I recently watched the Telugu romantic comedy film “Kushi” (2023), and its portrayal of atheists sparked some intriguing thoughts that I felt compelled to share. In the movie, the character representing an atheist is depicted as a “science believer,” which, from my perspective, falls short of capturing the essence of atheism. Allow me to elaborate on this matter further. There’s a distinction between what we can call a “strong atheist” and a “science supporter.” A strong atheist, based on the classification by renowned evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, is a person who asserts with 100% certainty that there is no God. However, even in this extreme case of atheism, one should not automatically assume a strong inclination toward science. The reason I emphasize the distinction between a “supporter of science” and a “believer” is rooted in the core tenets of scientific thinking. Science is fundamentally about inquiry, skepticism, and the pursuit of knowledge based on empirical evidence. It is not a system of belief but a conceptual tool for understanding the world. In science, one cannot merely believe; one must question in order to comprehend.
