Good morning! We have abundant beautiful flowers inside and out. I worked in my garden yesterday enjoying flowers blooming and fruits borne, birds and butterflies – even monarch butterflies. I was amazed at plants growing so fast and flourishing and new things – after more than two decades a hydrangea bloomed, which I thought only to enjoy its patterned leaves. An apple tree, though dwarf, is growing so big and now blooming and bearing fruit. An inch thick grape tree is now bearing fruit densely on a hundred square feet. This morning I got an email from Teibi, who planted a weeping cherry tree and is going to enjoy its blossoming. I have a weeping cherry here and at my house with other cherry trees. We missed cherry blossom viewing this spring, but maybe next year. Today’s Tricycle message was about the pursuit of happiness. It said that all want happiness but Buddhism tells about suffering so that we may know how to pursue happiness. We must not mistake true happiness from false. We have been reading Dogen’s Yūji (有時), Possessing Time. We must find the opportune time for the right purpose and good result, and make our careers wholly wholesome. So, Dogen recommended that we put our whole power in the Way Cycle of aspiration, cultivation, awakening, and unconditioned peace. Last time I talked about the paradigm shift from civilization to cultivation. Civilization is urbanization with city or citadel walls, discriminating inside and out. It is said, “Before civilization were forests. After civilization are no forests.” Civilization with its one-directional pyramidal system fights for limited matter and power, and thus forces the five calamities of delusion, bondage, discrimination, exploitation, and extermination. It can not thrive and survive going against the Dharma of Dependent Origination. Cultivation with its multi-dimensional Indra- net system shares a culture of limitless heart and life in truth, goodness, and beauty; and thus strives for the fivefold bliss of awakening, freedom, equality, love, and peace. Now we must see what kind and what way we are pursuing happiness. True happiness is not in the quantity of matter and power; and much less in selfish, sinful, fighting for them; but in quality of truth, goodness, and beauty – much more in selfless, holy (wholly wholesome) sharing of them. The more and harder we seek and struggle for matter and power, the severer and stronger we stray and suffer. The harder and more we strive and share in heart and life, the healthier and happier we enjoy and enjoin with all always. … Continue reading
