Perfectly Proven Path

Good evening!

 

We had snow this morning below the freezing temperature. So, it was very dangerous to drive or brake among other cars running. When snow has now gone, it is safe to do so.

 

It is easy to drive in the daytime, but not so at night time. It is easy to drive in a familiar known place, but not so in an unfamiliar unknown place.

 

The awakened is like driving in the daytime. The holy eightfold path is like driving on a road without snow. Our practice is like driving in a familiar known place.

 

When I saw snow, I imagined radiation covering all like snow. We should not have entered such a dangerous way as we have done and been struggling with radiation fallout.

 

We don’t know how to manage the melt fuel, fallen radiation, and death ash for millennia. So, we must go on the familiar, bright, safe, perfectly proven path good for all always.
