Good evening!
After the recent heat wave we had a rain shower just before we came here. The air cooled down and the leaves became wet. When we sit in solid, still sitting – like trees – we can become truth.
Then we can get into the ocean seal samâdhi, where all things are sealed on the ocean’s surface like a clear mirror – without winds (nirvana) and waves.
This ocean state is the ultimate truth (paramattha sacca, lit., highest meaning reality); while the bubble state is the conventional truth (sammuti sacca, lit., agreed reality).
All problems and sufferings come from self-centeredness (self-survival instinct and interest); while all solutions and pleasures come from selfless holy (wholly wholesome) harmony.
