Karma to Dharma: 業から法へ

 

Good morning!

 

We have a calm, clear world after our zazen. Before coming here, I watched a TV program on the Shimanto River, one of three “free-flowing rivers in Japan,” called “the last pure river.” It enjoys abundant and diverse living beings and ecological systems – a long span of brackish water, many meanderings with diverse kinds of streams in speed, depth, organisms, etc. Humans live harmoniously with it with skillful means, like using sinking bridges that flow with floodwaters.

 

Our cosmic river is a roughly fifteen billion year river with a four billion year life stream, which may be identified as the Dharma world. The human species stream is five million years, with five thousand years of civilization, which may be coined the karma world. This outgrew and overburdened that in the last fifty years. The coming five years may determine the fate of both, with runaway climate crises. At any moment a mishap, a man, or a country can destroy the global life system.

 

Human karma created civilization, with city states streaming into nation states with militarism, materialism, Mammonism, etc. A pyramidal civilization is now corrupting and collapsing the holy truth, goodness, and beauty of the Dharma world with the karma of the triple poisons of delusion, desire, and divisiveness, producing the five calamities of delusion, bondage, discrimination, exploitation, and extermination. Karma cognition and correction is the key to solve all problems and sufferings.

 

The Buddha recommended “mental orientation from the source,” the origin of the mind, karma, the triple poisons, etc., before which was nothing wrong, where there was only the Dharma world. He left the concrete correct course for it – sitting still, stilling karma, seeing the Dharma, saving and serving the Dharma world with the five blisses of awakening, freedom, equality, love, and peace, and with the triple learning of morality, concentration, and prognosis, enjoying the holy happy Dharma flow.

お早うございます!

 

坐禅の後には静寂で明澄な世界があります。ここへ来る前にテレビ番組四万十川を見ましたが、これは「日本の三清流」の一つであり、「最後の清流」と言われています。それは豊富で多様な生物と生態系を持っています-長い汽水域や速度・深さ、有機体等の多様な種類の流れをもつ多くの蛇行など。人々はそこで洪水でも大丈夫な沈下橋のような方便を使い自然と調和して生きています。

 

私達の宇宙河は約150億年の川であり40億年の生命の流れですが、これは法界と同定して良いでしょう。人類流は500万年で文明は5000年ですが、これは業世界と言って良いでしょう。最近50年で後者は前者を凌駕し過負荷をかけています。来たる5年が気候危機の暴走でそれらの運命を決めるかもしれませn。何時何どき事故、一人、一国が地球生命組織を破壊するか知れません。

 

 

人間の業は都市国家の文明を創り、軍国主義、物質主義、拝金主義等を持った国民国家に流れ込みました。金字塔文明は今や貪瞋痴三毒の業をもって法界の聖なる真善美を腐敗・崩壊させて、錯誤・束縛・差別・搾取・殺戮の五禍を生み出しています。業の認識と矯正は一切の問題と苦を解く鍵です。

 

仏陀は心、業、三毒等の始原からの「如理思惟(根源的思考)」を勧めましたが、それらの前は何も悪いものは無く法界でした。彼はその為の具体的な正しい道程を残してくれましが-戒定慧の三学で覚醒・自由・平等・博愛・平和の五福で静坐、止業、観法、法界救済と奉仕で、聖なる幸福の法の流れを享受することです。

The picture below is taken and sent by Mr. Noriyuki Otsuka, who wrote:

“A very beautiful rainbow appeared the other day

The foreground  is apricot tree already blooming

– Japanes white-eyes and bulbuls sucking honey.

Nirvana world is realized.”

 

下の写真は大塚卿之さんが撮り送ってくれたものです、曰く:

 

「先日とてもきれいな虹が出ました。

手前は枇杷の木でもう花をつけており、

メジロとヒヨドリが蜜を吸っています。

極楽世界が現成しています。」
