Description
The universe notices us – we’re included, too. The grass, the trees, the animals notice us. We’re all caught up in this beautiful dream.
Summary
Atwill, Beasley, and Tarrant teaching on a good Sunday.
Yunmen asked the assembly,
“I don’t ask about before the time of the full moon.
What about after the full moon?
He himself replied, “Every day is a good day.”
This koan is like a bowl; the emptiness inside is what makes it beautiful. If you don’t hold onto things, you will see that this life now is what you were born for; your kitchen is a palace, and your hallway is a palace, and you move around with a blessing on your head, a blessing that you can pass on to everyone you meet.
The universe notices us – we’re included, too. The grass, the trees, the animals notice us. We’re all caught up in this beautiful dream.
In heaven and earth there’s no place to hide.
The person is empty, things, too, are empty.
