時とは一体何でしょうか。
Time is seven days a karma.
Time is the phases of the moon; the revolution of the earth around the sun.
Time is witnessed through our mortal bodies.
Time is witnessed through our memories.
時間是七日一劫。
時間是月亮的週期, 地球繞太陽的週期。
時間是我們的身體。
時間是我們的記憶。
> 時間は月の位相と・・・
I know that Chinese and Taiwanese people celebrate the Lunar New Year (Spring Festival) based on the phases of the moon in the luni-solar calendar. In Taiwan, is the luni-solar calendar also widely used in daily life beyond just observing holidays?

In Taiwan, is the luni-solar calendar also widely used in daily life beyond just observing holidays? ===> Yes, we still use the lunar calender to deal with many aspects of life and cultural events.
時間は7日と1つの劫(こう)。==> Let me explain this concept.
Just like日曜日、月曜日、火曜日、、、 every day of the week is a planet of the solar system, that is why I said 7日で1つの劫,.....
劫(こう)means a cyclical reincarnation, so a week means we repeat our reincarnation in our spiritual growth once. Seven planets a week means a 劫(こう), a cycle or a repeated transformation or transmutation.

In Japan, some people used to utilize the "六曜(ろくよう)" system, which was passed down from China, as an indicator to determine the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of days. However, the number of people who still follow this tradition is extremely small.
The 六曜 system consists of six elements: 先勝, 友引, 先負, 仏滅, 大安 and 赤口. While very few Japanese people believe in the literal meanings of these elements, there is a customary tendency to avoid holding wedding ceremonies on 仏滅 days.
