Good morning!
Now we see the half moon. Unless we get up early or we are interested in the moon, we don’t care about the change of the moon phases. The change of phases is our own.
It’s said that the eye can not see itself. The Buddha said that we are all karma heirs. So, we can’t see ourselves and see other things self-centered or short-sighted.
Only when we drop off our karmas, body and mind, in sitting and stilling karma can we see away from and throughout ourselves – the dharma world.
Only when we see the whole world in time and space, not only the self interest here and now, but all species throughout generations can we stop cut-throat karmas.
We can see and stop the cut-throat karmas only when we are on the other side as cut-throat victims. Then only the karma world can be transformed into the dharma world.
