all places; all circumstances
A literary or formal term encompassing every possible place or situation. Often found in philosophical or poetic contexts.
Without fixing the mind on any particular place or circumstance, just let things be natural.
This Zen saying teaches a mind unmoved by all circumstances.
Compound of 万 (ban, 'ten thousand; myriad; all') and 境 (kyō, 'boundary; place; circumstance'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word appears in classical and Buddhist texts.
