Good morning!
It is good to breathe fresh, early morning air with flowers blooming and birds’ singing.
It is good to greet with the Buddha, with all buddhas and bodhisattvas throughout space and time.
It is good to sit with the sound of water flowing and the feeling of the wind’s breezes in life.
It is good to dwell in the dharma dhatu, domain, and become the dharma body with all beings.
The colors of the peak,
The sounds of the valley,
Are all figures and voices
Of our Shakyamuni Buddha.
