Good evening,
We can still see the full moon. Even though the moon is always there, it can illuminate the world fully and wholly only when it fully and wholly accepts the light of truth in clear calm space. Only when it is fully illuminated by the ultimate truth can it illuminate the world fully and wholly in clear calm space.
The Buddha mind is like the full moon illuminated and illuminating fully and wholly in nirvana, unconditioned peace. The Bodhisattva mind is with all in universal truth and peace, to share them with all beings, working so that all become the same. Only when we share the bodhisattva way can we have a truthful and peaceful world.
