shizukesa Explanation: There are quite a lot of ways of translate this. In a large online dictionary (first of two references, but in Japanese I am afraid) there is shizukana koto = quietness/tranquility (made up of shizukana = quiet, and koto =thing/fact, hence not recommended) shizukesa = calm/hush/silence/tranquility seijaku = quiet/serenity/tranquility seion = dead calm/tranquility odayaka = calm/tranquility ochitsuki = relaxation/calm/tranquility heiwa = peaceful/tranquility antei = stability/tranquility Additionally "tranquility of mind" is give as kokoro no heisei where kokoro = heart, no = of, heisei = peace/tranquility The sino-Japanese words seijaku, seion, heiwa, antei and heisei, are more formal than the original japanese words shizukanakoto, shizukesa, and odayaka. The Japanese characters, in the order they appear above are shown below. 静かなこと、 静けさ、 静寂{せいじゃく}、 静穏{せいおん}、 穏やかさ、 落ち着き、 平和{へいわ}、 安定{あんてい} 心の平静{へいせい} In case you cannot read the above, I have uploaded a gif to the second of the two references below, showing all the options above in the same order. I recommend Shizukesa which is on the second line. Reference: http://www.alc.co.jp/ Reference: http://www.proz.com/home/8304/prozgif-tranquility.gif |
