Buddha or Bubble

Good morning!   It is now drizzling. All kinds of flowers blooming (hyakka-ryōran,百花繚乱) and flower chill (hana-bie,花冷え) are also the Indra-net forms and functions. Springing spring, sunny summer, falling fall, and windy winter are all due to the earth’s movement. It makes rain or snow, springing lives or falling leaves.   Sitting in the Buddha mind seal returns to the limitless light and life of the Sun. Sitting in the bubble move seal remains in the limited liberation and love of the earth. Sinking in the small selves can never solve the greater global problems, much less see unconditioned peace and unsurpassed awakening.   4/24/13   Knuckles Range, Shri Lanka, photo by Lori Satterthwaite,  National Geographic

Beautiful Blossoming

Good morning!   We now have all kinds of flowers blossoming beautifully, and abundantly. This is the manifestation and function of the Indra-net in holy (wholly wholesome) harmony, health, and happiness.   To enter into and enjoy it is “not deluded about causality,” (fumai inga, 不昧因果). Ignorance and disturbance of it is “not falling into causality,” (furaku inga, 不落因 果).   4/23/13     Photo by Mr. Noriyuki Otsuka from Japan
