Travel - the irreplaceable institution of life-long learnings

Hi, we share one similar experience. Although I do not know much about Japanese Culture, I have always appreciated their high standards on two basic principles of Life - Bushido, honour and loyalty, sadly at very short supply.

I  also embrace a belief with every fibre of my body, called Daoism.  This has changed my life in the most profound Way.

Good for you that you were able to find these easter philosophies, so relevant, so inspiring with so much wisdom ... including from your home country, a  paramount centre of essential values and spiritual guidance in the world.

Bless you ,  and Heaven that will always guide us into the future.

Not sure if we can really learn anything, but embrace it all with our hearts and souls.

There is so much to learn but the challenge is to consistently practice. I think experiencing cultures is the only way to learn and practice philosophies. You should travel to Japan someday and encounter these experiences first hand.

Hi, I have been to Japan , and I am an admirer of their culture, Nevertheless I have been a path that in a way is the basis of the Japanese  and Chinese culture, Daoism.  Japan was formed from a Chinese tribe that sail to the island, so indeed they are connected. Including the characters central to Eastern culture.   The idea of learning is far more a Western concept  based on the Socratian philosophy, than Eastern philosophies. Each individual experience each issue, idea in a different way.
