yugen (noun; Japanese) A sense of indescribable depth and profundity.
After reading Aaron’s latest blog post, Courtney was suddenly overcome by a sensation too deep and mysterious for words; an awareness that all form is void, and that the universe itself is an ephemeral object. Later that evening, she recounted her experience to her aikido sensei, who nodded sagely and said, “You, Courtney-san, are lucky indeed—for you have experienced yugen.”
