But if you put more fertilizer to gain more fruits, you may destruct the balance of the soil, and the tree may wither.\u201d To harvest tasty, high-quality fruits, what we should focus on is doing what is good for the tree itself. Excessive pursuit of the outcomes may often work against our intention.<\/p>\n<p>The same principle applies to the education of the youth. Modern education is obsessed with gaining more \u201cfruits\u201d to make our youth \u201cwither.\u201d The youth are trained and asked to march toward a pre-determined destination, rather than exploring their unique qualities and values without deepening their own self-understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Our program does not demand the youth to solve social issues. Instead, we guide them to explore their inner world and foster their individual qualities. When we stop obsessing with the \u201cfruits\u201c of education, the youth are free to explore their own interest to discover their own truth. Only when they are free from expectations imposed both by themselves and from outside can they find their authentic self.<\/p>\n<p>In KOTOWARI, we adopt the Eastern tradition of meditation, the Western framework of liberal arts, and immersive experience in Nature. These three pillars will allow the youth to unlearn their bias and fixed beliefs that they acquired from their environment and upbringing. By seeing the reality clearly and critically, they can finally see the world with authentic sensitivity and imagination. In the end, they will find what they truly desire for themselves and for society.<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3a1ee8b sc_inner_width_none sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"3a1ee8b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;animation_delay&quot;:200}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c50fbc7 animation_type_block sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c50fbc7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To find our own personal \u201cKOTOWARI,\u201d we turn to \u201cKOTOWARI\u201d of Nature in the East and that of Civilisation in the West. They represent two opposite ends of the same spectrum of what we call the \u201cworld\u201d in which we all live in. Each one of us has a unique connection with both, and thus, can contextualize ourselves in a unique way to find our own \u201ckotowari\u201d through the exploration of these two.<\/p><p>Humans have always lived in Nature. Nature has shaped and sustained this world long before humans came into being, and it still does so. Though Nature is dynamic with many facades across the globe, its underlying truth, KOTOWARI, remains one and the same. This is akin to what Laozi called \u201cTao\u201d or \u201cthe Way\u201d which governs literally \u201ceverything.\u201d We may become aware of it if we dedicate ourselves to seeing things as they are, without prejudices and preconceptions. To explore this KOTOWARI, we turn to Eastern wisdom. We not only develop its conceptual understanding but also practice introspective meditation to develop our disposition toward it<\/p><p>Civilization, on the other hand, is created and run by humans for humans. It sits at the axis of the internal and external dynamics of human beings. By learning about the kotowari of civilization, especially that of the West in the modern era, we can learn about human desires over the past centuries, and how that has influenced Nature around us.<\/p><p>By exploring these two, we can find a personal connection with each of them. We can, then, have a better sense of who we are and what we are doing more clearly. In other words, we can move closer to our personal truth or \u201ckotowari.\u201d<\/p><p>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fdbe977
