3: What can we get from Bonsai?

We have to follow the rule to raise Bonsai up to their each character and nature. There is no exception and don’t need ego of yourself. If we want to raise beautiful Bonsai we should convert from desire ( to rise good Bonsai) to senselessness ( follow the nature of Bonsai) . This convert purifies our state of mind.
