明月秋Meigetsu no Aki
is a poem or phrase for Autumn. This translation from Japanese to English is
completed by Jonathan Maples from page 392 of the 禅語吉語字典 Zengo Kichigo Jiten.
The general meaning is The beauty of the Autumn Moon. Because
you live, you exist on the Earth. Because of that you are the master of your
soul. It is through how you live that the Earth’s beauty is completed.
This Zen Buddhist
phrase is part of a larger scripture written 月は知る明月の秋、花は知る一様の春 Tsuki wa Shiru Meigetsu
no Aki, Hana wa Shiru Issama no Haru. The moon is the symbol of Autumn, and
the flower is the symbol of spring. Both know they are the beauty of their
season. It is your living that witnesses the beauties of these seasons.
Humans are the same. There are a diverse and many people
living on the earth. Each person has their own will and individuality. Each one
also has their own roles on this world. Each person reflects their beauty on this
earth by carrying out their role and holding it dear in their heart. Furthermore,
the fruits of this earth are gathered through the entire body of the people
doing their work on this earth.
