    The 44th of 108 Gates Of Dharma Illumination

    Gate Forty-four
    Read the following, place it in your heart and sleep on it. Then, tomorrow, live it until evening when you can leave a brief comment on what you may have received during the process.

    Right means are a gate of Dharma illumination; for they are accompanied by right conduct.

    By “Dharma Gate”, We mean a teaching or practice that can lead to spiritual growth: some kind of positive outcome in terms of our practice. A way to approach the truth.

    Koan:



    Most note worthy replies :
    Can you steal
    To sow your fields?
    Can you kill
    To feed your kin?
    What then, of farrow rows
    And starving refugees?

    Balancing the what
    With the how
    We act as Buddha

                  For all the countless atrocities
                  Done in the name of collosal achievement,
                  Down to the smallest injustice against a voiceless populace.
                  My heart aches.

                  Gassho,
