Good evening!
It’s a good evening when we sit in zazen, even though it is raining in darkness, difficult to drive. We can go back to nirvana or asankhata, windless or uncreated with karma, returning to the original state before the creation of ego delusion, attachment, and aversion, craving and anger – me-ism, materialism, and militarism.
We can see how these things, fictitious things like corporations, countries, etc., and all kinds of problems up to mass extinction are created. Anyone can do so and everyone had better do so in order to make a better world and way of living, and to live in holy truth, goodness, beauty, harmony, and happiness, tasting amrita (ambrosia of immortality).
