Equanimity in Equinox
Good morning! Today is the equinox, a time of equal day and night and balanced heat and chill, thus called Higan (彼岸), Other Shore or Nirvana. We celebrate it with all buddhas, past, present, and future. Japanese people consider deceased ancestors to be hotoke-sama (仏様), respectable buddhas, as they are in the other world beyond karmic transmigration, samsara. Of course it is better to become a buddha while alive, enjoying unconditioned peace, nirvana, and unsurpassed awakening, anuttara samyak sambodhi. We could still see the brilliant beautiful full moon in the clear cool autumn sky this morning. I walked in the dense dewed grass to harvest greens for our sesshin meal. When we started sitting, I saw the reflected moonlight moving into the window and passing through it. It is only in this point of place and time that the full moon reflection is on this floor. Our life moment is like this, with specific scenes in specific space and time. Basho saw the full moon going around the pond throughout the night and made the following haiku: The renowned moon, I went around the pond Throughout the night. Meigetsu-ya Ike-wo megurite Yomosugara 名月や 池を巡りて 夜もすがら Basho must have enjoyed the clear cool full moon reflected in the pond, moving with the moving of the reflection of the moon. We may see only the reflections on the wooden floor or water surface. Dogen could see the real full moon, representing the Buddha mind/heart, and also the true Buddha heart/mind. He appreciated the big bright full moon in the broad beautiful sky throughout the night exactly 760 years ago, making his last waka poem just a fortnight before passing away: Even in the autumn, when I’d expect to see it again, I could not have slept … Continue reading
