Good morning!
It is seventeen degrees now, but here we can go beyond chill and heat, that is, we can witness nirvana, unconditioned peace, and unsurpassed awakening. That is the Buddha dharma anyone anywhere can witness.
This house treasure is in every house, but we must find, refine, ascertain, and appreciate it. Only when we polish it does it shine forth, serve, and save all anywhere any time.
Dogen said that this dharma is abundantly endowed with everyone, but without cultivation, it does not develop; without verification, it is not attained. Practice makes possible and perfect.
