Good morning!
We have rather a chilly morning despite the spring season. We call it “hanabie”
(花冷え, flower chill). There is something cooling and cleansing to us.
Doing no evil,
Doing all good,
Purifying one’s own mind,
Is the teaching of all Buddhas.
If we can not do this, especially purifying our own minds, all things become
darkened and dirty, worthless and wasteful.
Sitting in the Buddha mind seal is the best way to return to the natural pure peace
prognosis, unconditioned peace-unsurpassed awakening.
