Good morning! We have a silent, serene Sunday morning after our sittings and service. This is the beginning of the fall equinox, equal in day and night and heat and chill. In Japan we celebrate three equinox days as o-higan (彼岸), the yonder shore, beyond the rough sea of samsara suffering, which means nirvana, ceasing of the wind of karmas. Today people gather together and march to stop global warming, which causes extreme weather like enormous hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons, heavy rain, land slides, flooding, even extreme earthquakes, causing tsunamis, nuclear disasters, etc. Humans are the culprits of it along with the sixth mass extinction, with more than a hundred species going extinct every day. The Buddha showed how to still karmas in sitting samadhi, to stop the world from destruction and demise. He foresaw that human karmas could cause the catastrophe of the world on fire due to our senses being on fire, and eating the beloved one’s flesh. The Triple Learnings of sīla, samādhi, and paññā is stilling the Triple Poisons of attachment, aversion, and delusion. In our conventional world we cannot see global warming, mass extinction, karma kinetics, the Triple Poisons, etc., as they are too great to grasp, i.e., the mind miring mega matrix, which can be only ceased and seen through still sitting and sober seeing of the immense effect of karmas evolved and developed through billions of years and constant conditioning. 9/21/14 … Continue reading

Bodhisattva: Bosatsu: Awakening Being: 菩薩
Good morning! We have a beautiful autumn Sunday morning with crisp cool blue sky and brilliant sunlight. We have a quite calm and clear world, especially after our sittings and service with beautiful flowers around us inside and out. … Continue reading
Flaring Fires
Good morning! Even when the spring sphere is here and flowers are blooming, there may be no or fewer fruits, due to the plants themselves, pollinating plants, or agents. The summer sphere offers more chances for forest fires or finger fires. The Buddha said that the world is on fire – eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body are on fire. We must see when, where, and how the global fire, hell fire, etc. are starting and ceasing – inside, outside, both or neither. 3/15/13 Note: Finger fire is burning fingernails in place of a candle. Related expressions are skin flint, shave a whetstone, pinch a penny, squeeze blood out of a stone, etc. Friendly fire is to burn friends in place of foes. Figure fire is burning oneself in place of others in protest or prognosis. All these and other human fires with or without consciousnesses and consequences burn the world as the Buddha mentioned.

Body-Possession View
Good morning! We have been having rain. Very early this morning I had to get up and fix the roof leak. The Buddha said, When we have roofs, we have leaks. When we have the body-possession or body-entity view, we have leaks inside and out. That is why we need to sit to drop off our bodies and minds to become freed from leaks. 2/26/13 Note: 1. Leak (ro, 漏): flux (ooze, āsava, āsrava: bonnō, affliction, 煩悩, kilesa, kleśa, soil, defilement) 2. Body-possession or body-entity view (sakkāya diṭṭhi, satkāya dṛṣṭi, ushin-ken, 有身見) or rather body-possessed view, thus shinjin-totsuraku (身心脱落, body-mind falling away) is necessary.
Dharma Dhātu or Karma Kinetics
Good evening! We have the full moon above the clouds, which represents the Buddha mind. When we sit, we can see the Buddha mind beyond the clouds of karmas. In truth, many people don’t notice the full moon is there. Even if we notice the full moon, it is obstructed by clouds of karma. We may by chance climb mountains above the clouds, but there are even higher clouds. So, we need to go to the moon to see this world. We think we are the most important beings, but from the moon, we can not even see ourselves, much less be remembered in the immeasurable vastness of time and space. The moon world, the Dharma Dhātu (Root, Realm), and this world, the karma kinetics, are totally different. We see things in the karma world and scarcely see things from the Dharma Dhātu. So, we must constantly sit and make an effort to view the world from the moon world. Otherwise, we miss the proper perspective and priority in pure peace and prognosis. Let us continue our sitting in concentration and consistency in pure peace. 2/25/13
