Clear Calm Cosmos

Posted on March 9, 2013 by Rosan Daido

Good morning!   While most houses are dark or with dreamings, we can see the earlier dawning with the clear crescent moon and calm cloudless sky above, and scurrying bunnies and singing birds below.   The Buddha was awakened to the dawning morning star with all living beings with lands, mountains, rivers, trees, and grass in one clear calm cosmos in limitless liberation life, and free full function.   3/8/13
