Holy Nirvana Here Now
Good morning! We are now in the spring equinox, which is equal in daytime and nighttime, chill and heat – well-balanced harmony in time and space. Thus, it is equated with equanimity, beyond the dichotomy of perceptions, emotions, and volitions – nirvana or the other shore, beyond human karmas. It is not another world, place, or time, but here and now, just like this early morning sitting, as serene and solid as the deep sea beyond surface surges. Especially when we sit in solid serene Zazen, we become still and stable, safe and separated from the sway of suffocation and suffering, inside and out. 3/22/13

We are very fortunate to be able to sit in complete comfort coming home (kika-onza, 帰家穏坐) every morning and evening together enjoying all things. Colors of peaks and Sounds of valleys are Altogether voices and Forms of my Shakyamuni. This is also his poem among the five poems referencing the Lotus Sutra. We are always at home in pure peace and prognosis in the Dharma dhātu, resting in great comfort in the Buddha’s house. 3/14/13
Clear Calm Cosmos
Good morning! While most houses are dark or with dreamings, we can see the earlier dawning with the clear crescent moon and calm cloudless sky above, and scurrying bunnies and singing birds below. The Buddha was awakened to the dawning morning star with all living beings with lands, mountains, rivers, trees, and grass in one clear calm cosmos in limitless liberation life, and free full function. 3/8/13
