Good morning!
We have a beautiful bright Saturday morning, especially after sittings and service. We have, however, a lot of dark news in the world – climate change, mass extinction, racism, and nationalism with possible nuclear wars at any time. Despite Cassini with its long space travel of twenty years, we have more than 10% of the global population in hunger. It seeks to find if there is life on Saturn, but we don’t know what life is or how to live here now.
Because of our karma cogs, the dharma domain is in disarray, doomed to destruction. If karma cogs are defective or departing from the dharma dynamics, the dharma domain is destroyed and doomed. If any cog or piece is out of order or out of machinery or its jigsaw puzzle board, the machine or the system becomes deficient and disastrous. That’s why the Great Way or Awakened Way must be with all in perfect prognosis and practice.
The Fukanzazengi says that the root of the Way is perfectly penetrating, free, dustless, and here now. The Dharma penetrates all without karma dust, functioning freely and fully, right where we are. When karma stills in still sitting, dharmas develop and the Dharma dawns in nirvana, no wind of karmas. The treasure house of dharmas opens by itself, and we can appreciate and use it at will with limitless life, light, liberation, and love.
We must know that all problems come from the karma (action, habit, heredity) of sin (separation, separated self, society, states, species, and symbolism) and that we must still it to see and settle in dharmas/Dharma, and serve and save all in a holy (wholly wholesome) way and world. Each and every person must aspire to achieve this, actualizing this here now constantly, conquering karma conditioning continuously, above all karma matters.
