Good morning!
It has started drizzling now. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom here in this area.
This morning I got the news of our member’s relative’s death and a request of
officiating a marriage ceremony . Marry and bury are daily happenings for anyone.
Cherry blossoms are famed for their mass flowering especially when they are with the
mass group, but also for their incessant mass falling especially when it rains or winds
“The vain cherry of the mind expecting tomorrow may fall by the night storm.”
Let us sit with the whole body and mind here and now to realize unconditioned peace
and unsurpassed awakening and to taste amrita, ambrosia of immortality, beyond
the wind of karmas, and before the rain of impermanence let the beauty of life fall
off.
