Good evening! Zazen is the Buddha posture and the Buddha mind, which realizes nirvana, unconditioned peace, and anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, unsurpassed right complete awakening, right here and now. 4/19/13
Holy Nirvana Here Now
Good morning! We are now in the spring equinox, which is equal in daytime and nighttime, chill and heat – well-balanced harmony in time and space. Thus, it is equated with equanimity, beyond the dichotomy of perceptions, emotions, and volitions – nirvana or the other shore, beyond human karmas. It is not another world, place, or time, but here and now, just like this early morning sitting, as serene and solid as the deep sea beyond surface surges. Especially when we sit in solid serene Zazen, we become still and stable, safe and separated from the sway of suffocation and suffering, inside and out. 3/22/13
Unconditioned Peace Unsurpassed Awakening Here Now
Good evening! Today is the tenth anniversary of the Iraq war. Recently we had the second anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. We say, “See to the end.” If we truly see to the end, we could not have started wars and nukes with countless casualties, costs, and conundrums. Not seeing to the end, we become irresponsible and infamous, creating all kinds of problems and sufferings in endless karma ripples, consequences. Not a mountain moving, with a mouse or mindless mice emerging, but the whole world trembling in joy and tears at the Buddha’s birth and death. Seeing to the end, the Buddha showed us the “come and see” way, good in the beginning, in the middle, and in the end, for all always and all places. Zazen is the unity of means and ends, the cultivation and verification of unconditioned peace and unsurpassed awakening here and now with all. A proverb says, “There are horses running a thousand miles a day, but few find them.” There are treasures, but who actually acts and appreciates them? 3/20/13

Sit, See, Share, Serve, Save Sentients!
Good evening! We have been having snow falling. So, some people might have been afraid of their dangerous driving and stopped coming here to sit and see its merits. When we do doan duties or attend the Dharma study class, you sit and share the Awakening, Awakened Dharma, serve and save all Awakened Sanghas. There is no other ways to serve and save all beings without sitting, sharing the Awakened Way and World – it depends on one’s own practice and attainment. We must catch all the opportunities to practice Zazen, the Buddha-mind Seal, cultivate and verify the awakening mind and awakened world. 2/28/13
Buddha Path: Buddha-Mind Seal
Good evening! Dogen in his Genjōkōan, Realizing Universal Truth, describes the Buddha’s Path thus: To learn the Buddha Way is to learn the self. To learn the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to drop off the bodies and minds of the self and others. To drop off the bodies and minds of the self and others is to be verified by all dharmas. The trace of awakening is at rest and extinct. The traceless awakening at rest and extinction is furthered on and on. Just groping for an elephant has not started even the first step. But this sitting with the Buddha-mind Seal is the beginning, the middle, and the end of unconditioned peace and unsurpassed awakening. So, let us strive concentratedly, constantly, and indomitably without indolence. 2/19/13

Stopping Self Samsara Suffaring
