Every Day is a Good Day

nichi nichi kore kōnichi (日々是好日)
nichi nichi kore koonichi
hibi kore koojitsu / kore yoki hi



A Japanese Zen Buddhist proverb at least 300 years old which means "Every day is a good day", or "All days are good days". It has been presented by some Zen masters (notably, Kodo-Sawaki and his disciple Taisen Deshimaru) as a kōan, that is, a statement that appears contradictory to rationality but that can be grasped through intuition.
It was a favorite saying of the avant-garde composer John Cage.
