The Thirty-third Gate
Awareness of time is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we do not treat spoken teaching lightly.
Awareness of time :
to listen intently and finally; to give up control
Gatha:
May we, together with all beings
Embrace mindfulness of time
That we may focus during teisho
May this offering bring peace to all beings
May our actions contribute to the harmony of The Universe
And, may all hearts and minds be opened to the present.
