Buddha Heart
Good morning! Congratulations on your coming here to practice Zazen just after your overnight work. Usually, we would like to go to bed as soon as we finish such work. However, you came and sat through sittings and service. So, now you are refreshed, recreated, and rejuvenated by upright, solid, and serene sitting with deep breathing. The vital function of deep breathing replaces the old air and blood with new fresh air and blood, pumping pure blood, delivering to every part of the body and brain, making metabolism the best, and the separated small self and world wholly wholesome – from a bubble-like being to an ocean-like organism. This is the Buddha world, awakened world. Only when we completely sit and stop all karmas, can we witness it. Otherwise we always remain caught in the body sense and sensation, in the “body-existing view” (sak-kāya ditṭthi, sat-kāya dṛṣṭi, ushhinken, 有身見). Thus, we become tired, get sick, fearful of death, etc., and much troubled by it. It is the karma-conditioned perception and conception, which disappear in solid serene sitting in the Buddha Mind Seal as substanceless (suñña, śūnya) not worrying about falling down, hitting against, etc., coming back to the original state before the origination of perceptions, conceptions, emotions, and volitions. This is the very way to stop karma and enter into the Truth Domain (Dharma Dhātu). Now, we have a lot of green around us. Because of the sun melting the snow and ice into water which permeates throughout the world – earth, air, plants, and animals. Water, essence of life, fresh air, and the sun light and warmth, the source of life, gives us a kind of spring season scene full of abundant life. We are permeated by light and warmth, soaked with moisture, and especially fresh air. So, we become one with space, which is said to be eternal along with only nirvana, even though all things change. So, we also become one with the world of nirvana, windless of karmas, as modern sciences revealed – space sparse with simple seemly substance or just a field. We go back to the original state and find that our perceptions, conceptions, etc. are only our mental creations. The uncreated state (a-sankhata, a-samskṛta) is nirvana. I forwarded an introduction of a NHK program, “Darwin’s Coming” in Japanese, “Grand Nature Land” in English, to our e-list last night. The latest feature was the “Revival Project of Birds Migration in Italy. The first birds to start were gray geese (Anser Anser). The project created Cona Island Natural Preservation Park in northern Italy ten years ago, preserving now 200 water birds species from the … Continue reading →
