Perfect Days: The Power of No Mind

Hi, I'm Tim - in this video essay, we analyze the film Perfect Days - in the hopes of better understanding the life philosophy of its main character, Hirayama. This film by Wim Wenders is an exercise in active meditation and I believe it has much to teach us in the ways of simple living.

We discuss the overarching themes and concepts that make up the life of this simple toilet washer in Tokyo - namely that of Mushin, the Zen Buddhist concept of "no mind". Mushin is characterized as a state of openness, a mind free from thought and attachment. This video essay examines and explains how Hirayama lives in a perpetual state of Mushin, and further explains how we may apply these teachings to our own lives.

My main goal with this video is to both help and encourage all of us to find ways to live life in more fulfilling ways.

Perfect Days is an incredible film and I would highly recommend you give it a look if you haven't yet seen it:
