Good morning!
When we come here and sit in zazen, we can enjoy the fresh air, the singing of birds, and
the sound of the waterfall.
If we walk into the garden, we can enjoy flowers and find fertile soil to plant vegetables.
To enjoy them, we need to sow seeds, transplant seedlings, and take care of them.
Without watering and weeding, they don’t grow, bloom, or bear fruits well. They may
even wither and die. They need constant and continuous care throughout the process.
Even if we have fertile soil to sow the awakening seed, we can’t harvest the fruits of
awakening and taste amrita, ambrosia of immortality, unless we take constant continuous
care.
It solely depends on our constant and continuous care to grow, bloom, and bear the wholly
wholesome, beautiful, peaceful, and truthful fruition.
