Good evening!
When we sit in zazen, we are in peace, truth, harmony, and holiness.
This is good for oneself and others, good all the time and in all places.
When we act in the conventional world, we are with ego, envy, and enmity.
Then we endanger our economy and ecology in the expense of matter, money, mind, and life, and in the extinction of senses, sensitivities, services, and species.
The Buddha said,
Enmity is never appeased by
Enmity here, but by non-enmity.
This is the eternal truth forever.
