Endless Enmity or Perpetual Peace
Good morning! We have a bright sunny Sunday morning in peace and truth after our sittings and service. All over the world, however, we have dark days of death tolls – 129 killed and more than a few hundred injured by the terrorists’ bombs and shootings in Paris. We may see vengeance after vengeance – an endless tit for tat, by all means. The Buddha said, “enmity is never appeased by enmity, but by non-enmity. This is the eternal truth here.” So long as we remain in the karma realm, we want to conquer the enemy – enmity endures for eternity. He said, “Better than conquering thousands upon thousands is conquering one-self. This is the true conqueror.” He provided the way to still our karmas and see the dharmas of unconditioned peace (nirvana) and unsurpassed awakening (bodhi) in perpetual peace and total truth. It is this sitting and stilling bodily, verbal, and mental karmas (actions, functions, habits, heredities). Anyone can cultivate and verify it. Karma creates me-ism, materialism, militarism, and money-ism, causing wars, warming, extinction, etc. with delusion, bondage, discrimination, exploitation, and extermination. Dharma donates limitless life, light, liberation, and love, delivering peace, prosperity, etc., with awakening, freedom, equality, love, and peace. 11/15/15 … Continue reading

Peace Is the Way, Not War
Good morning! We are at the autumnal equinox, equal in day and night, heat and chill, or rather neither heat nor chill. So, in Buddhist countries, we celebrate it as Higan (彼岸), Yonder Shore, with two days before and after it. Yonder Shore means nirvana, which is the shore beyond the rough sea of suffering in the karma world. Nirvana, unconditioned peace, and anuttara samyak- sambodhi, unsurpassed right complete awakening – both sides of one thing – are the goals of Buddhists. Though the equinox is only twice a year, anyone at any time, anywhere, can attain them with cultivation and verification. The Buddha was awakened to the fact that all living beings are karma-heirs, karma- owners, karma-machines, and karma-refuged. He provided us with the most direct, practical, and effective way to attain equanimity or nirvana, no-wind of karma, and to be awakened to the Dharma (Truth) of all dharmas (phenomena): Dependent Co- origination. It is Zazen, sitting meditation, stilling karmas and seeing the Dharma and dharmas. Dogen recommended the Practice Way Cycle (gyōji-dōkan) of aspiration, cultivation, awakening, and unconditioned peace, assuring us that anyone can attain nirvana-bodhi. On the first day of the equinox, the Abe administration upset the Japanese Peace Constitution with laws that allow collective self-defense, prohibited even by the ruling LDP for seventy years after WWII. The Peace Constitution is in the Buddhist tradition of peace without weapons and wars: The Buddha prescribed the triple learning of morality, concentration, and prognosis, seeing his own kin terminated in the war for empire. King Ashoka erected the Dharma edicts, sending envoys after his Kalinga campaign. Prince Regent Shotoku set the Seventeen Article Constitution after the clan wars. The first article of Shotoku’s constitution says that harmony is precious, and the second requests respect of the triple treasures of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha (Community), because we are all ordinary people to counsel among them (in the Awakened Way) as described in the sixth article. The Abe administration, with 62% of the seats in the last lower house election and only 17% at proportional representation due to the single-member district voting system, passed the laws despite a poll result of 80% insufficient explanation, 60% against them, and insufficient debate. It is a big blow to the Awakened Way also. … Continue reading
