Wakeful Way Witnessing Wonderful World
Good morning! It is getting chilly – going below the freezing point suddenly with frost over the grass and frozen leaves down. Trees are turning into autumn colors or already shedding colorful leaves on the grass. Some will revive and some will not next spring. We don’t know all the causes and conditions of how, when, and why all these things are taking place, much less all the things going in ourselves and all others. How can we claim we know birth, life, death, life after death? Why are we so concerned about small smelly skin sacks, like bubbles with bubbling ideas, not caring about wholly wholesome world ways like seas with seasonable tides – here and now? The Buddha said, “All living beings are karma-heirs, karma-relatives, and karma-machines.” “The Four Applications are to decrease bad karmas, stop them, increase good karmas, and start them.” He used to ask if the five aggregates (form, feeling, idea, formations, consciousness) are permanent or not (self-sama) and duk-kha (wrong-going) or not (self-sovereign). If not, they are selfless (no self-substance). He also said that religion is cultivation (bhāvanā, causing to become, causative of bhave, becoming, constant change in ups and downs by karmas, old and new physical, verbal, and mental). Dogen said, “The great way of Buddhas and Ancestors necessarily has unsurpassed practice, the way cycling without interruption. Aspiration, cultivation, awakening, and nirvana without interruption is the way cycle of practice.” He said that cultivation and verification are one and equal (shu-shō-ittō: 修証一等). It is true especially in Zazen, sitting, stopping karma, seeing dharma, serving and saving all – the great, mature, and joyful way of all. Otherwise we must go through constant karma kinetics through the Six Paths becoming (bhava) hell beings, hungry ghosts, fighting devils, animal beings, … Continue reading
Stopping Karma Is Stopping Suffering
Good morning! We have a calm, warm, bright morning after the last night rain. We say, “After rain earth solidifies.” (Ame-futte chi-katamaru, 雨降って地固まる) Without dust bowls or extreme chill, nature seems to return to life. Sometimes rain causes … Continue reading

Good morning! We have beautiful bright spring-like sunlight and sky – crisp clear space without clouds, piercing through all endlessly. After our sittings we are also penetrated by purity and peace. Usually we are separated by our skin … Continue reading

Good morning! When we sit in zazen, we become still, serene, and safe. When we move, drive, often we see rabbits or squirrels cross in front of our cars, or birds flying along our driving directions. Our sense and … Continue reading
