Good evening!
Whenever we sit still and stop karmas, we remain stable, safe, and satisfied. When kings and others visited the Buddha’s place with hundreds of monks sitting still and serene, they were amazed at the peace, harmony, and serenity prevailing there.
The first article of the Seventeen Article Constitution, said to be made by Prince Regent Shotoku, proclaims that harmony is precious. Not only precious, but primary. Primary harmony and peace prevails, when we stop our karmas to return to the primordial state.
Only in this way, when each individual becomes harmonious, can our world be harmonious. Holy harmony, health, and happiness are just one thing. We hope everyone attains unconditioned peace, unsurpassed awakening, and amrita, ambrosia of immortality.
