Awakening for All: Zazen Solution: Free Full Function
We are approaching the equinox, hi-gan (yonder shore: nirvana: equanimity), equal day and night, chill and heat. Extreme weather, waves, ways, etc., create disasters. Dictators, wars, nukes, etc., cause disorder, destruction, devastation, and demise toward doomsday. Shi-gan (this shore: samsara) is with suffering.
The causes come from concentrated coagulation in the dynamic Dharma world of Dependent Co-origination, like climate change, capitalism, nationalism, nepotism, extremism, egoism, etc. Sin (selfish sickness) is the cause of these sufferings due to the symbolism of a sovereign self, society, status, state, etc.
The second law of thermodynamics is natural equalizing force, which makes raging waves into a calm sea, storms into doldrums, war into peace, madness into sanity. Nirvana means no-wind (of karma blowing us up/down) with a calm, clear consciousness-corporeal-world in peace and sanity.
Sitting still stills karma commotion into calm and clear condition of the physio-psycho system, like a ball of water stilled reflecting the true world. Microcosms (dharmas) reunite with the macrocosm (the Dharma world of limitless space and time) like a jigsaw piece fitting into its board, or a crystal ball reflecting others.

Notes:
- Awakening is in acknowledging the universal truth/ethic (Dharma) of Dependent Co-origination, which operates all phenomena,mu and applying it in solving problems and sufferings. It includes prognosis (hannya, third eye), which is the path of solution of systems. Awakened Way is not simply attaining a simple selfless state (bozen jishitsu: losing oneself in bewilderment, muga: no self, mushin: no mind, fusho:no birth in karmic mind/mental fabrication, etc.), but observing (clarifying and cultivating) the Dharma in the triple learnings of morality, samadhi (integration, not concentration, focus, much less trance), and prognosis individually, socially, and environmentally. The microcosm (individual, social, ecological) coagulation is naturally or by its change/cultivation is freed to function fully in the macrocosm (the Dharma world).
2. “The Dharma (Norm/Law/Truth/Ethic) of all dharmas (forms/phenomena/ truths/ethics)” is Dependent Co-origination, i.e., all phenomena are interdependently co-originated on limitless causes and conditions (similar to the Law of Causality, but deeper and wider – beyond conventions, conceptions, objects, etc.). This means that we are interrelated with other beings (other species, elements, stars, etc.), and relatives to each other, and that we must therefore live together harmoniously and strive to make a wholly wholesome world to become harmonious, health, and happy.
3. Karma (grow/create with the past/present physical/verbal/mental action, habit, heredity)is instilled with the triple poisons of desire, divisiveness, and delusion (of ego/mei: I/my). The Buddha said that all living beings are karma-birthed, -heirs, -owners, -machines, and -refuged. He clarified that there is no self-substance with self-sameness (permanent) and self-sovereignty (wishful) entities due to the Dharma (Truth/Law) of all dharmas (phenomena), Dependent Co-origination. We as karma-machines must change to the Dharma-refuged in order to change the world in suffering to that in holiness (wholly wholesome: harmonious, healthy, and happy).
4. The Triple Poisons are desire, divisiveness, and delusion (of a self-same, self-sovereign self). The “Triple Only” are only me, only now, and only money (short-sighted views and actions, which make the wider world worse) , which can be cured by the Triple Learnings of morality, concentration, and prognosis.
5. The triple learnings are morality, integration, and prognosis (sîla, samâdhi, prajñâ). This is done by still sitting (zazen: sitting meditation), stilling karma (action with the triple poisons of desire, divisiveness, delusion), settling in samadhi (harmonious integration: nirvana), and providing prognosis to cultivate our volition (to action), emotion, and intellection.
6. Karma (grow/create with the past/present physical/verbal/mental action, habit, heredity)is instilled with the triple poisons of desire, divisiveness, and delusion (of ego/mei: I/my). The Buddha said that all living beings are karma-birthed, -heirs, -owners, -machines, and -refuged. He clarified that there is no self-substance with self-sameness (permanent) and self-sovereignty (wishful) entities due to the Dharma (Truth/Law) of all dharmas (phenomena), Dependent Co-origination. We as karma-machines must change to the Dharma-refuged in order to change the world in suffering to that in holiness (wholly wholesome: harmonious, healthy, and happy).
7. Nirvana means no wind (of karma imbued with the triple poisons of desire, divisiveness, and delusion), where one can for the first time witness the Dharma world and become awakened from the long night of nescience to the Dharma of all dharmas in calm, clear, controlled, and careful conditions, then prognosticate problems and sufferings in the Four Holy Truths and the Eight Holy Ways.
No-wind of karma stills the two roots (craving and nescience) and stills their results of suffering and samsara [six ways/realms of hell beings, hungry ghosts, (fighting devils), animal beings, human beings, celestial beings], thus become freed (liberation, freedom) from samsara and suffering. One opens the right Dharma-eye there (Right Dharma-eye stored in the exquisite heart of nirvana), attaining countless merits of no moving (blowing) of karma (no moving, no death: ambrosia: amṛta), freed from discrimination, bondage of self, other, that, this, etc. (nothingness, emptiness, no-self, limitless: limitless life, limitless light, no attachment, no obstruction, etc.), realizing the true world (Dharma world, Buddha world, paradise, pure land), freed from straying, delusion, etc.

一切の為の覚醒:坐禅 解決:自由完全機能
私達は日夜・寒暖同等の彼岸(涅槃:平静)に近づいています。極端な気象、波、やり方などは災害を創り出します。独裁者、戦争、核などは無秩序、破壊、壊滅、終末への絶滅を引き起こします。
その原因は気候変動、資本主義、国家主義、縁故主義、極端主義、利己主義などのように縁起の動態的法界の中の集中凝固に由来します。罪(自己中病患)が全能の自己、社会、地位、国家などの象徴に由来するこれら諸苦の原因です。
熱力学の第二法則は自然の平準化であり、これが怒涛は平静海に、嵐は無風に、戦争は平和に、狂気は正気にするのです。涅槃は平和と正気の平静・明澄な意識ー物質ー世界の(私達を上下に吹き飛ばす業の)無風を意味します。
静坐は、椀の中の水が静まり真実世界を映すように、業の騒動を静め精神身体組織の平静・明澄にします。ジグソーパズル片が基盤に嵌るように、あるいは水晶珠が他の諸水晶珠を反映するように、小宇宙(諸法)は大宇宙(無限空間・時間の法界)に再結合します。

註:
- 覚醒は、諸現象を機能させている縁起の法(普遍的真理・倫理)を承認しそれを諸問題・諸苦の解決に適用する事です。それは、組織解決の方途である、般若(処方・洞察:第三眼)を含みます。覚道は単に単純無我状態(茫然自失、無我、無心、不生:業心を生起させないこと・不妄心)ではなく、個人的、社会的、環境的に戒定(集中・焦点k、まして恍惚ではなく統合)慧の三学の中に法を守る(見守り修行する)事です。小宇宙(個人的、社会的、環境的)凝固は自然にまたばその変化修行により自由になり大宇宙(法界)の中で完全に機能するようになる。
2. 諸法(形態・現象)の法(規則・法則・真理・倫理)は縁起(因縁生起)、即ち、一切現象は無量の直接原因と間接条件により相依生起するということである(因果則に似ているがさらに深く広い-世俗、観念、対象などを超える)。これは私達が他者(多種、要素、星宿など)と相依関係にあることを意味し、相互に相対的であり、私達が調和、健康、幸福になる為には共に調和して生き、全体健全な世界を作る努力をしなければならないことを意味する。
3. 業(karma, grow/create: 過去現在の身口意行動・習慣・遺伝)は貪瞋(エゴ/メイ:我/我所の)痴の三毒が植え込まれている。ブッダ(覚者)は一切衆生は業—誕生者、—相続者、—所有者、—機械、—依拠者であると言った。彼は、諸法(現象)の法(真理/倫理)である縁起の故に自己同一(永住)と自己主宰(意欲通り)の実態をもった自己物質は存在しないことを明らかにした。業—機械である私達は、苦しむ世界を聖(全体健全:調和、健康、幸福)なる世界に変える為には、法₋依拠者にならなければならない。
4. 三毒は貪瞋痴(自己同一、自己主宰の我という愚痴)である。三だけは今だけ、金だけで自分だけということであり(短見・短絡行動で、より広い世界を悪化させる)が、戒定慧の三学はこれらを治癒できる。
5. 三学は戒定慧(sîla, samâdhi, prajñâ)である。これは静坐により、業(貪瞋痴三毒を伴う行為)を静め、三昧(調和総合:涅槃)に安住し、般若(処方:知恵)を与え、知情意を修養する。
6. 業(karma, grow/create: 過去現在の身口意行動・習慣・遺伝)は貪瞋(エゴ/メイ:我/我所の)痴の三毒が植え込まれている。ブッダ(覚者)は一切衆生は業—誕生者、—相続者、—所有者、—機械、—依拠者であると言った。彼は、諸法(現象)の法(真理/倫理)である縁起の故に自己同一(永住)と自己主宰(意欲通り)の実態をもった自己物質は存在しないことを明らかにした。業—機械である私達は、苦しむ世界を聖(全体健全:調和、健康、幸福)なる世界に変える為には、法₋依拠者にならなければならない。
7. 涅槃は(貪瞋痴で染汚した業の)無風を意味するが、そこで人は静謐・明澄・統制・注意状態で法界を直証し諸法の法に初めて無明長夜から目覚めて、問題と苦に対する四聖諦、八聖道で般若(の知恵:処方)を得る。
業の無風は二根(渇愛と無明)を静止してその結果の苦(四苦八苦など)と輪廻 [地獄、餓鬼、(修羅)、畜生、人間、天上の五(六)道(界)] を静止する、即ち輪廻・苦から自由になる(解脱・解放)。そこでは業による動揺が無く(不動、不死:甘露: amṛta)、我他彼此などの分別・束縛から自由になり(無・空・無我・無量:無量寿・無量光・無著・無碍など)、真理世界(法界、仏界、極楽、浄土)を現観し、迷・惑から自由になり、大局観・甚深・微妙な世界(法身、真実人体)を覚るなど涅槃による正法に眼を開き、無数の功徳を得る(正法眼蔵涅槃妙心)。
