Good morning!
The full moon has quickly changed into the half moon. The spring season of sprouts has now shifted into the fall season of leaves.
Falling leaves,
Non-falling leaves
Are also falling leaves.
Falling raindrops merge into streamlets, streams, rivers, and then into the ocean. There are no independent eternal raindrops in the great ocean.
In the same manner, all beings are interdependent and impermanent. Once we realize this, we can see the truth and be at peace – the ultimate truth and peace like the great ocean.
Only when we settle in the ultimate truth and peace can we live a holy (wholly wholesome) life and avoid casualties and calamities that afflict all.
