Actual Action Attains Amrita

Good evening!

 

There are many books on mountaineering, but without actual climbing step by step, we can not breathe fresh air or see beautiful views each moment.

 

Dogen said, “This dharma is abundantly endowed with everyone, but without cultivation, it does not develop; without verification it is not attained.”

 

Only by actual sitting can we cultivate, develop, verify, and attain amrita, ambrosia of immortality, unconditioned peace, and unsurpassed awakening.
