Shift System

Good morning!

Now we have spring drizzling rain over flowers, with a bit of chill. We call this “hana-bie: ???,” flower chill – a little chill with cherry blossoms – a mixed feeling.

Spring flowers produce pollen fallout. Nuclear disaster brings us radiation fallout. Our life gives us suffering fallout. All are interrelated in an integral systemic dynamism.

Sufferings are threefold (natural, social, individual). All these come from karmas: three karmas (physical, verbal, mental).

They are interdependent, but the mental (volition, emotion, conception) are dominant driving forces: thus, the three poisons (delusion, attachment, aversion) end in suffering.

We can cease our sufferings, realizing unconditioned peace and unsurpassed awakening. Solid sitting stops karma, sees its consequences, and shifts the system for the better.
