108/108 Gates of Dharma Illumination

[Shokai]

The One Hundred and eighth Gate

The wisdom that leads us from one state to another state is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it], having water sprinkled on the head, we accomplish total wisdom

Ultimate Wisdom :
that which is available to all who persevere in their practice

No magic
Leads from one level to the next. Only
Wisdom is required. Oh, Shariputra!
Be gentle!
Be compassionate!
Be kind! And
Do not try to breathe
Underwater.

Exploring resistance and attachment,
The wisdom of not sticking,
Helps with surfing low and high waves
Of the bottomless ocean.

Deep bows Shokai and everyone who participated in this wonderful "exercise".
