Good evening!
This is the first day of spring, the vernal equinox. In the East we celebrate it
as equanimity, nirvana, the other shore, beyond the sea of sufferings.
Nowadays people just celebrate it for the deceased, supposedly in the other world.
But originally it was for anyone to attain nirvana, stillness of karmas.
It is beyond all physical, verbal, and mental karmas, actions, and action results or
habits, any fabrications even of meditation or relaxation.
It is the complete cessation of karmas realized in this solid serene sitting,
the Buddha mind seal, sealed in the Buddha mind.
So, please sit strong, straightened up, and solid, unmoved by anything –
ideas, ideologies, memories, volitions, emotions, etc., appreciating amrita!
