With palms together,
Good Morning All,
If we could see around corners, we would never get hit. But we cannot see around corners, so we must be cautious. I wonder.
When we are one with the universe, where is a corner?
Caution is like a weeble, tilting to and fro, but never actually getting anywhere.
A True Master understands there is no birth and death, just this. A True Master is the Buddha inside and out. The Infinite and Finite are one and without a blink of an eye. A True Master is both giver and receiver at once and at the same moment. A True Master is both love and hate, peace and war, all residing in serene reflection.
We call this authority, and being one with it, we call manifest Buddha.
Be well.

yaay Sodaiho-Roshi!!! Hooray!
inspirational..
A bunch of cows and bulls are standing in a field. A huge gust of wind comes along and all the cows fall over, but the bulls just stand there, bracing themselves against the gale...
So all the cows stand up and brush themselves off and go back to their business. Pretty soon, a tornado blows through and all of the cows are knocked to the ground, but the bulls just munch on the grass...
Next, a hurricane comes through and all the cows are knocked into the next pasture. The bulls just say "moo."
Finally, one of the cows walks up to one of the bulls and says, "Moo? What's the mooing deal? How come the wind always knocks us for a loop and you just stand there unharmed ?"
"Isn't it obvious?" the bull replies. "We bulls wobble, but we don't fall down."
um.. have a good day?
