Unconditioned Peace Unsurpassed Awakening Here Now
Good evening! Today is the tenth anniversary of the Iraq war. Recently we had the second anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. We say, ”See to the end.” If we truly see to the end, we could not have started wars and nukes with countless casualties, costs, and conundrums. Not seeing to the end, we become irresponsible and infamous, creating all kinds of problems and sufferings in endless karma ripples, consequences. Not a mountain moving, with a mouse or mindless mice emerging, but the whole world trembling in joy and tears at the Buddha’s birth and death. Seeing to the end, the Buddha showed us the ”come and see” way, good in the beginning, in the middle, and in the end, for all always and all places. Zazen is the unity of means and ends, the cultivation and verification of unconditioned peace and unsurpassed awakening here and now with all. A proverb says, ”There are horses running a thousand miles a day, but few find them.” There are treasures, but who actually acts and appreciates them? 3/20/13
