Be Buddhas, Not Making Monarchs

Good morning!

 

We have now almost the half moon, and we understand that the phases of the moon are impermanent and interdependent with the sun, the moon, and us.

 

If we understand this interdependence and impermanence, we know that our partial views and pyramidal systems are unbeneficial for all in the long run.

 

It is harmful to wage wars against all. It is better to cooperate with all. According to the law of causality or dependent origination, we must become awakened and live wakefully.

 

We must not make monarchs, enslaving all to money, matter, and power, but remain as buddhas (awakened ones), enjoying holy harmony, truth, goodness, and beauty.
