In the same text in the April part there is something of people having heard of Zen Buddhism and how to apply that.
26.5.2019 From my long text about living wisely the four seasons http://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html :
"If the town center's landscape that consists mostly of houses and city streets is ugly and makes one feel as if ill,
one can look at such landscapes with a more foggy way of looking and
look at sunshine, dust etc esthetics and every few seconds look also at
people, other living beings and shop windows with a sharp eyesight,
seeing also their enviroment sharply, but not attaching to it any more
if it alone feels nasty.
The Japanese have a philosophy called Zen Buddhism, which teaches
that increasing one's awareness makes one happy (works via healthy ages
old ways of living) and skilled (one learns new things and grows in
wisdom), but it does not mean grasping a nasty feeling landscape, since
in it the idea is to learn also wisdom of life, so that if something
feels nasty, one ought not grasp it but instead bypass it and solve it
to better state, like the dirt from cars is everywhere near street as a
thin net over the snow, while the dark dirt looking by the streets is
winter time sand used to prevent excessive gliding on ice. So one should
notice the different sides of the phenomena and what is a good approach
for each side of each phenomenom."
I add here the pieces of melodies I made for the April and May parts of the text about the seasons:
