Bodhisattva Bunny

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Rosan Daido

Good morning!   On the way here I saw many bunnies scurrying around. Over and around here we see many Buddhas sitting still.   There was a bunny who was sent to the moon, saving a suffering servant of this world, and savoring amrita, ambrosia of immortality ever since.   Sentient beings are set in self-survival karmas (habits, actions) with short-sight, short-circuit, and short-spark.   They live with the triple poisons of delusion, desire, and divisiveness led into the triple maladies of me-ism, materialism, and militarism.   Awakened ones are settled in wholly wholesome dharmas (truths, laws) with long-sight, long-circuit, and long-success (saving, serving, sewa, seva).   They live with the triple potencies of purity, peace, and prognosis led into the triple minds of magnanimous mind, mature mind, and joyful mind.   The boddhisattva bunny, great being, has been ever since enjoying amrita with limitless life, light, liberation, love, and learning.   3/18/13   Note: 1. The story of a bunny saving an apparently old hungry man actually the supreme being of this world was sent to the moon thanks to its selfless action was saved into the moon, as we see the figure now. (Please refer to this blog site posting the poem made by Ryokan, Mind Mirror, posted on August 14, 2011.)   2. Sewa (Japanese, 世話), seva … Continue reading →
