Holy Nirvana Here Now

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Rosan Daido

Good morning! We are now in the spring equinox, which is equal in daytime and nighttime, chill and heat – well-balanced harmony in time and space. Thus, it is equated with equanimity, beyond the dichotomy of perceptions, emotions, and volitions – nirvana or the other shore, beyond human karmas. It is not another world, place, or time, but here and now, just like this early morning sitting, as serene and solid as the deep sea beyond surface surges. Especially when we sit in solid serene Zazen, we become still and stable, safe and separated from the sway of suffocation and suffering, inside and out. 3/22/13
