Good morning!

Now we have chilly weather going up only to 52 degrees, and tree leaves have started falling. We can see the almost half moon through the clouds.

When we sit, we shake off extraneous things like leaves and are exposed to the golden wind and to the bright beautiful moon.

When we sit, we are well provided in morality, we delve into concentration, and we deepen the profound prognosis, becoming wholly wholesome.

If all become wholly wholesome in simple sitting, we settle in the original state beyond the triple poisons in the triple steps.

We can witness the wholly wholesome world by practicing the triple learning in the triple treasures, without the triple poisons and the three steps.
