Good morning!
Sometimes we miss the full moon. But we always see the morning star in the morning. The morning star tells us it is the dawning of daytime. It becomes the evening star, telling us of the nightfall of the moon.
We must face birth, aging, sickness, death, unfulfilled desires, loss of possessions, parting from loved ones, and the rampant rage of the five aggregates – not only those of our family members and friends, but those of our own selves.
If, however, we see the morning star, we can hope for the dawning of the daylight, truth, and the truth of the mind moon beyond waxing and waning. We can see the moon of unconditioned peace and unsurpassed awakening.
