The one Hundred and nineth of 108 Gates Of Dharma Illumination

[Shokai]

109) The one Hundred and nineth Gate; The state in which water is sprinkled on the head

The state in which water is sprinkled on the head is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it], following birth in a family, we are at last able to realize anuttara samyaksambodhi. (Nishijima/Cross)

The ground of sprinkling wisdom water on the head is a gate of realizing dharma; it brings forth birth, leaving the household, and unsurpassable, complete enlightenment. (Tanahashi)

Gate Gatha:

May we, together with all buddhas;
Realize the true majesty of our birth
That we attain the non-goal of ultimate enlightenment

Reflection Prompts:

True wisdom is the Dharma Eye.
Prajna paramitta, Boji sowa ka

Capping Verse:

Not to be wasted
So precious
Is this human birth

Happy Vesak to all
