Good morning!
Because of the overcast sky we couldn’t see the full moon late last night and early
this morning. But, beyond the clouds and behind the apparent changing phases
of the moon, there is always the full moon – the Buddha mind with unconditioned
peace and unsurpassed awakening.
The unseasonable spring snow caused broken branches, even trunks truncated,
and trees tumbling down with heavy wet snow. So, we must take care of them
before they break and tumble down. We need dharma care and karma cure through
the cultivation and verification of the Buddha mind.
Like the king Mirror, seeing the whole picture of the elephant, we must see the whole
picture and the whole process to the end, taking care and providing cure. We must
maintain sitting calm and clear, stop karmas, settle steadfast and serene in ultimate
truth and unconditioned peace, and see and save all.
