Good morning!
Today is Mother’s Day, when we appreciate mothers’ grace. It’s said that a mother’s grace is deeper than the ocean; a father’s grace is higher than the mountain. Mothers bear, foster, and even sacrifice their lives for their babies. Haeckel’s biogenetical law is a symbolic expression of the billions of year evolutionary history of life in us through genetics.
Development is division, thus evolution is devolution with separation and specialization. Self sense for self-survival is the outcome of karmic sin (=separation), causing stress, sickness, and suffering, not only for oneself, but for all – global warming, mass extinction, and even nuclear holocaust at any moment by mishaps, miscalculation, and even one man’s madness.
Sitting still, stilling karma, seeing dharma, serving and saving all is the way to save us from the destruction of the world as the Buddha, Awakened One, advised us all. This frees us from small self, seeing holy (wholly wholesome) truth, peace, goodness, and beauty. Dogen said that if not with all, it is not the Awakened Way, where great, mature, and joyful hearts live.
Tathagata Garbha, (Womb/Source of Thus-being, Buddha) is in nirvana (no wind of karma), where anyone can become awakened to the Dharma (Norm of form, Law of phenomena) of Dependent Co-origination, i.e, all are interdependently originated (thus no separate, same, sovereign self) – limitless life, light, liberation, and love of mother of life, earth, and cosmos.
