Good evening,
We will be able to see the full moon tonight, which represents the Buddha mind, perfectly round, clear, and cool. It is said that a moment in spring is worth one thousand pieces of gold. We have abundant life springing up now to go through summer sun, falling fall, and wintry wind – like birth, sickness, aging, and death – passing through the harsh summer and deadly winter.
Plants are called still things and animals are called moving things. As we move, we become separated from the world and tend to become not systemic, sustainable, safe, simple, and saving, but more dependent on matter and energy. When we sit down, we become one with all beings of the universe, wholly wholesome.
When we sit solid and serene, we become like trees, true and harmonious with all, the heaven and earth, air, wind, water, earth, bees, birds, flowers, fruits, the sun, stars, days and nights, and the moon – new and full – months, years, centuries, and millennia, beyond time and space.
