Kokoro: Heart, Spirit and Mind Japanese Kanji

This single kanji character 心 is pronounced 'kokoro' and is the Japanese word for heart. It refers to heart in the non-medical, non-literal sense(there's another word for such situations). It refers to heart, mind and spirit as one, rather than as separate concepts. This broad meaning can be related to anything that you put your heart into, that you give your all to, and to a commitment to live a life of truth and passion with inner strength. Kokoro is the essence of something.
