Good morning!
After successive rainy days with flooding, we have now a clear sunny Sunday sky. After successive sitting, we have now a clear calm world. We have the Triple Treasure, true treasure, anyone can enjoy any place at any time: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, true trinity, anyone should accomplish.
The Awakened One sees the Dharma, serve and settle in Sangha. Sangha is where one attains awakening and activate it. Pratyeka (Individualistic) Buddha misses this and misunderstands the Triple Treasure. Samyak-sambuddha (Right Complete Buddha) Sangha, Society at large.
The Buddha Gotama was always with the world to save it from disease and destruction. We live in the world of imminent nuclear holocaust at one man’s pushing a button or any mishaps. If it happens, neither Buddha nor Dharma would avail and available. Mass extinction, etc. will do the same.
Let’s work together, come together, communicate, contemplate, and construct our Sangha here, clean, cultivate, confer flowers, cook, contribute, cater food among members, friends, and neighbors, opening house and heart for ideas; “Three persons gathered make the wisdom of Manjushri.”
