Madhyastha, Shamatha, Shunyata
Good morning! Passing the equinox, we now have chilly weather. Sitting still in Shikan-taza, we have no chill or heat of the karma world. Nirvana is stilling and cessation of karmas and karma world. Humans, the most advanced and worst applied karma-machines, are suffering from their triple poisons of greed, anger, and delusion, causing the global intertwined problems of global warming, extreme weather, war, population explosion, poverty, mass extinction, etc. Even though we have enough food, we have more than ten million people starving to death every year due to the man-made poisoned pyramidal civilization of me-ism, materialism, militarism, and money-ism. This afternoon we have our Feeding the Hungry Walk. I was asked to speak on the Middle Way there. Maddhyastha is not the middle or average of two, but a neutral state, attached to nothing, nirvana, emptyof substance, śūnyatā.Maddhyastha is śamatha (stillness, cessation) and śūnyatā (emptiness). Enjoying nirvana for weeks in his awakening, the Buddha was rather reluctant to go out into the world deeply sunken in its layers of karmas. The supreme being of the world, Brahma, besought him to go out to save it from destruction, to share the Dharma (Norm/forms) with those who were untainted by bad karmas, like unsoiled lotuses coming out of muddy water. This is how the Buddha as a bodhisattva spent forty-five years after his awakening, wasting no time to share the Dharma and save all. The triple vehicles are those of hearers, personal buddhas, and buddhas/bodhisattvas. We must follow suit as bodhi- sattvas, not as personal, partial buddhas who do not reflect well, but rather like the clear crystal balls on the Indra-net that reflect each other limitlessly. We must make the paradigm shift from pyramid-cage to Indra-net culture. 10/4/15 … Continue reading
Paradigm Shift
Good morning! We have now a calm and clear summer Sunday morning after sittings with beautiful flowers, trees, and sky. Anyone can enjoy a good day every day by sitting, stopping karmas, and seeing holy truth, goodness, and beauty. Yesterday I weeded my vegetable garden and found green soybeans eaten and cucumber plants cut at their roots like transplanted morning glories, potatoes, and lilies — even their roots eaten. I provided protection for them. I can enjoy a lot of big beautiful hibiscuses around the house, abundant grapes with outspread vines, pears laden on branches, etc. Cultivation of land and life verifies flowers, fruits, and abundant beauty and goodness. Mankind is in excess of greed, anger, and delusion, creating wars, global warming, mass extinction, etc. Now sitting and stopping karmas are not only anyone’s right for amrita, ambrosia, immortality in nirvana and bodhi, but also everyone’s responsibility for wholly wholesome harmony, health, and happiness for all. We need a paradigm shift from private poisons to a public panacea for holy (wholly wholesome) truth, goodness, and beauty. 7/27/14

Good morning! Today we start summertime, and soon we’ll be expecting the spring equinox. I brought in a branch of star magnolia. Pussy willow buds taken inside have started opening and showing white petals, while outside they are still tightly closed. Soon we will have all kinds of flowers blooming after the spring equinox. After the fall equinox leaves fall and flowers finish blooming. We need a paradigm shift from karma to dharma, ego to eco, to shift the tide from torrential to tranquil, from karma calamity and sin suffering to dharma delight and zen (jhāna) joy. The Awakened Way is to shift the Triple Poisons of delusion, desire, and divisiveness to the Triple Learning of morality (sīla), concentration (samādhi), and prognosis (prajñā). Zen or concentration embraces morality and prognosis, shifting from the Triple Maladies of me-ism, materialism, and militarism to the Triple Treasures of Buddaha (Awakened One), Dharma (Awakened Norm of all forms), and Sangha (Awakened Community), realizing nirvana and awakening (bodhi), attaining amrita (ambrosia, immortality). 3/9/14
