Complete Conqueror
Good morning! Suddenly the air turned cool, almost chilly, as if out of the hot dry weather the height of autumn has already arrived, though abnormal climate incidents – typhoon, flooding, drought, etc. – rage in other places. Soon we will be able to see the renowned full moon shining in the clear sky. We say “autumn of high sky with horses fattening,” because of the dry air. The Sino-Japanese character for aki (autumn, 秋) shows plants with fire(禾+火). Just a couple of days of dry hot weather without watering has caused plants with shallow roots or a poor root system to die. Dry weather and a busy schedule without watering made me lose germination of sown seeds and sprouted veggies. With the irrigation system, however, I am harvesting veggies and fruits – sometimes a tiny fig or pears, but very sweet. I found a lot of radishes, self seeding and propagating naturally unlike failing artificial sowing and transplanting. I have been posting Dogen’s Doei, Poems in the Way, which I shared with friends in a couple of groups for peace, etc. The poems received a good reception with “Beautiful!” “I’ve never thought of waka, Japanese poems, having such profound impact.” The Doei’s first poem was on Dogen parting with his disciples and this world, followed by one on the renowned moon, composed just a fortnight before his death. His last verse left to the world is: Illuminating the First Heaven for fifty four years, (I) suddenly springing up, break through The Great Thousand (Worlds). IIh! Entire body, seeking nothing, falls into the Yellow Spring (Nadir) alive. He lived constantly illuminating the First Heaven, the Buddha World, the Supramundane Realm, with prime pristine peace and prognosis like the full moon in the autumn sky. He lived it breaking through the Great Thousand Worlds dead, seeking nothing, and he died alive, seeing all. He saw and severed me-ism, materialism, and militarism of all kinds in all places rooted in delusion, desire, and divisiveness. … Continue reading

Supramundane Spring and Singing
Good evening! Now we can see daffodils blooming everywhere. The news from Japan reported cherry blossoms blooming ten days earlier than usual time due to warm weather in March. Flowers bloom in the same way year after year, but humans change year after year. Individual karmas and shared karmas effect things differently. When we come and sit here, we can see beautiful flowers and smell good incense, and even witness supramundane spring of flowers blossoming on withered trees and withered tree’s dragon singing beyond the mundane realms and karma kens. So enjoy nirvana without wind of karmas in beatitude beyond the mundane. 3/19/13 Note: The supramundane spring of lowers blossoming on withered trees (枯木花開劫外春: koboku-kakai kougai-no haru) and the withered tree’s dragon singing (枯木龍吟: koboku-ryūgin) are witnessed beyond the mundane realm.
