The peace and satisfaction that comes from bonsai is to do with focus and mindfulness. It is like any hobby or pastime where you are focused on the task in hand - whether that is knitting, doing a jigsaw, painting or pruning and wiring a tree. Mindfulness comes from being absorbed in the current moment. As Mr Miyagi might say, “All that matters is tree”. The added spiritual element perhaps comes from the fact that bonsai is a living, evolving work of art and that sense of transience, and transient beauty with the changing of the seasons and the lifetime of not only the tree, but the owner. We do not truly own a bonsai, we are simply stewards of something that has the potential to far outlive us.
Truely a living legend @peterchan

Have been enjoying these videos from South Wales and am about to purchase my first bonsai.
I feel so thankful to have found Peter Chan. Thank you so much for sharing your love for Bonsai and caring for trees.
It's crazy the stuff you find out about this guy.
