Good evening!
Shakya Muni means the Mindful One from the Shakya Clan. Muni came from the
root man, to mind, sharing the etymological cognate of mind.
When we sit still, we stop karmas, then dharmas manifest themselves and fill in our
bodies and minds, filling the entire world.
We become mindful of the dharma, dharma-embodied. Our static sittings make our
dynamic deeds dharma-embodied in our daily lives.
When we sit in Suchness, we become Such persons, and Thus-beings, Tathâ-gata, in
Thusness, Tathatâ.
Whoever starts sitting, starts being satiated by the Dharma, becoming satisfied with
and in the Dharma.
