MahaPariNirvana Part 53.

On the Parable of the Moon. Like the Birds parable, here Shakyamuni uses the perception of the Moon from the vantage of humans on the Earth and our various labels and descriptions for waning and waxing phases of the Moon; all the while the Moon simply is and remains unchanged in orbit.

MahaPariNirvana Part 51. On the Parable of the Birds. Kashyapa continues to have trouble conceiving of the potential of energies and the expression of that potential as one and the same , but separate only by the deluded mind of identification (Samsara).

LOVE - Part 2. With these few terms we can define the Engine of Life, the experience of Buddhahood, and the Samsaric delusion that drives our physical desires. “Earthly desires” used to develop our Enlightenment, as Nichiren would encourage us, to discover the profound Love of Buddhist compassion 24/7.

MahaPariNirvana Part 50. Our effective practice and propagation is a result of great attention to our use of language in transmitting correctly the teachings of Shakyamuni and Nichiren. Is our attitude and intent pure, honest, true?

MahaPariNirvana Part 47. Shakyamuni digs into the difference of potential and the expression of potential. He uses the analogies of butter, milk, cream and ghee to illustrate potential within all beings and the need for a process to express the potential, Buddhahood. That potential already “exists” within the human being, but can only be expressed through the process of the practice...

Chapter 11 takes the Four Inversions and dives into the Saha expression of the Tathagata Field in the experience of the Buddha Mind. That the two are one and not two. And the inversions are the result of misunderstanding the one as two.

CRITICISM. Attitude. Intent. Criticism is about actions; what actions are doing, what actions can be taken, what is the goal of our actions? We must use our Buddhist Bodhisattva training.
