And then at that time illuminating, that's egolessness, life based on egolessness, I give up the light which is called illuminating, the virtue, worthy of educating others. Educating others, this is the illuminating, educating others, helping others, very natural. So egolessness, egolessness is, I told you very often, egolessness is the state of human life that you plunge into, others' life, in order to help, enrich, instead of grasping in your hand, but consciously, according to your consciousness, you don't feel good,

[01:00]

because yesterday I told you, you seem, you feel, to make your life shrinking, shrink, and disappear, but actually it is not. At that time, that's human life based on egolessness, gifts of light, which is good enough to encourage, to help, to educate all sentient beings, this is called illuminating. At that time, the place where you live is pure land, in which all sentient beings can live in peace and harmony. So this is the place you have to be, the present pure land of calm and illuminating, the pure

[02:01]

land of the mind only, so your mind, past, present, future, is exactly mind, others' mind, past, present, future, and also the mind exactly same as the mind of trees, birds, the airs, the sands, in the past, present, future. So mind is, what is the mind? Mind is eternal time, which is called buddha, just oneness. So if you practice, if you practice egolessness, I told you, at that time the eternal experience comes and illumination, illuminating, worthy of educating, helping, enriching others, at that time there is only one mind, which is called buddha mind, you can enter into others'

[03:09]

feeling simultaneously, that's why you can help others, even though you don't say anything. When you visit, when you inquire after, have this day after sick people, who is about to die, nothing to do, nothing to do, whatever you say, whatever you give, it doesn't make sense, because all sick people to do is just to accept sickness and fact, which he is going toward death, that's all, that time you shouldn't be there, yes you should be there, because you are only one person who understands very deeply, very deeply the mind, in the past,

[04:12]

present, future, through which all sentient beings can feel, feel immediately, even though you don't say anything, so just be present, by his bed, that present is very helpful, so if you go to your home, your parents don't know what buddhism is, you try to explain buddhism, but sometimes it doesn't make sense, your explanation is just something which makes your parents confused, finally all you have to do is just be present with your parents, wow, greeting, washing your face, having a dinner, breakfast, saying good morning, good night, that's enough, very naturally parents feel something from you, because you know

[05:21]

pretty well, you understand the depth of the mind, past, present, future, through which all sentient beings can enter into each other mutually, that is into penetration, into connection, so this is the pure land of the mind only, pure land of the mind only, then at that time the eternal buddha, that is called eternal buddha, the place where you live is eternal buddha's world, eternal buddha's world, eternal buddha's world, eternal time, this is the place where you must be as shakyamuni buddha, in the explanation of the figure, this means

[06:24]

that there must be the land where in the advent of the buddhas they depend on, each of you is really same as buddha shakyamuni, then buddha shakyamuni has to have his own place in which he can live, that place is pure land of common illumination, pure land of the mind only, the eternal buddha's land, and this black circle as aforesaid refers to the one and same buddha nature, exactly this is the one and the same buddha nature, the term emptiness implies the significance of the circle, the term emptiness next to the black circle is significance of

[07:32]

emptiness, significance of the circle, the pure land of the common illuminating is the magic city built up by each of the buddhas, magic city built up by each of the buddhas, the pure land of the common illuminating, well this is a magic city, where you are, you are practicing egolessness, plunging into other's life and letting, helping, instead of holding other's life in your hand, is the place which is called magic city, in other words provisional reality, provisional reality, built up by buddhas, buddhas, so concentrate, concentrate, here is the magic city, it is constantly

[08:39]

provisional city, provisional reality, the place where you practice egolessness is not the fixed place which exists forever, constantly, it changes, so if you practice today egolessness, tomorrow also this is, you have to practice again, moment to moment, then where you can practice egolessness is the place which is called magic city, built up by each of the buddhas, you can see the lotus sutra, one lotus sutra which is called magic city, in order to lead all sentient beings to reach final stage which is called buddha,

[09:42]

buddha built up, always provisional, provisional, beautiful house, castle, inviting the people, next the pure land of the mind only is the land of the dhammakaya, dhammakaya buddha, dhammakaya buddha is exactly same as eternal time, ultimate truth, it means that the myriad magic cities built up by the buddhas are all the pure land of the mind only, whatever kind of a magic city, you drop the dew, that is the magic city you create, but this is not the magic city you create, this is immediately turned, melted in the eternal time, which is called buddha,

[10:44]

then next you have to drop a dew again, built up a magic city, which is called provisional reality, then that provisional reality called magic city turn into eternal time again, then next it should build up again, provisional reality which is called magic city, built up by buddha, so it means that the myriad magic cities built up by the buddhas are all the pure land of the mind only, how many magic cities have you built up, countless magic cities you have built up since beginningless past, towards endless future, the nirvanakaya, nirmanakaya buddha and sambhogakaya buddha are the eternal buddha, whose three bodies are nothing but the one undivided all,

[11:59]

so, what is your body, your body is not your body, your body is nirmanakaya buddha, truth, your body is exactly same as the buddha shakyamuni, then your body is exactly same as the buddha shakyamuni, eternal time, no, your body is yours, which is called in provisional reality, so your body is your body, which exists in provisional reality, in the magic city, magic house, but this magic house is built up by the buddha, nirmanakaya buddha, so, you should, briefly speaking, you should constantly seek for the great image of human life, which is called buddha,

[13:11]

constantly, you should swim in the ocean, don't swim in small well, like a frog, if you swim in small well, you become a frog, if you become a frog, sometimes you can swim in the ocean, but you are completely confused, because there are lots of things, so you should swim in the ocean, you cannot stay in the small well, because small well is also provisional reality, magic city is built up by the buddha, constantly, buddha is always something which may go, all sentient beings exist, changing, moving in dynamism, producing, increasing, increasing, occurring, arising, constantly, this is buddha's world, eternal time, so, even though you try to stay in the small well, just like a frog, you can't do that, if you try to do that, you are more confused,

[14:22]

so, if you realize that you are in the small well as a frog, you should awaken to it, what is going on, then constantly, you should swim in the big ocean, then simultaneously, you cannot swim in the big ocean, even though in the big ocean, there are lots of things, small boat, big boat, waves, small waves, huge waves, shark, big shark, sometimes jellyfish, jellyfish touch your head, small little fish, weeds, micro-being, creatures, lots of beings over there, you cannot ignore that, so, pay attention to living in reality, living in reality, then paying attention to living in reality and simultaneously, you should swim in the big ocean, this is sambhogakaya buddha, this is priest life or human life,

[15:40]

if you just touch to the living in reality, paying attention to yourself, it's very difficult, there is no sense, warm sense, warm enlightenment, it's very cold enlightenment, that is suravaka, you can attain enlightenment through the book, anyway, you can attain enlightenment through the book of Buddhism, you can attain enlightenment, but if you don't use that enlightenment with all sentient beings, that enlightenment is very cold, anyway, share your enlightenment with all sentient beings, it means swim in the big ocean, that time enlightenment becomes warm, this is bodhisattva practice, you have to do as a buddha, this is the fourth figure, tomorrow I will explain last.

[16:45]

Tonight I will describe the fifth figure, the fifth figure, regular subhasudhika, mind inside, mark the letter of mind inside of subhasudhika, right below the subhasudhika, it says the unique, I am man, is here, in the explanation of the figure, the buddha without dwelling in nirvana, goes back and forth to life and death, and teaches all according to their circumstances,

[18:12]

this is what is called the unique, in the explanation of the figure, from the beginning of arousing the body mind to the ultimate stage of enlightenment, all activities are determined by the buddha's wisdom, the buddhas appear in this world without staying at the highest stage, and their preaching and saving all living beings, all the continuous progress in the practice transcending the buddha regarded as the essence of our teachings, there is a heaven above the hut, that is a little difficult to understand, a heaven above the hut means the hut is one of the black hats for priests in China,

[19:21]

still in Japan, priests use the black hat, not the army hat, army hat shape, a different kind of hat, heaven above the hut means the sky, emptiness, above the hut implies the highest stage of religious experience, which is called enlightenment or buddha, but heaven above the hut means you cannot stay at the highest stage of religious experience, still there is a heaven above your head,

[20:22]

which means that heaven is huge skies, space, which you have to go, that is there is a heaven above the hat, The red letter of mind in the center of the Subhashirika refers to the mind that without dwelling in nirvana, which is permanent and joyful, life and death is considered as a forest and a playground in which one bends one's mind to be with and benefit all living beings forever, this is what is called iron man, a patriarch says in practicing the way one must be iron man, iron man is immovable, spiritually immovable person,

[21:29]

spiritual immovable person is called iron man, like a lotus flower blooms in the mud, iron man is spiritual and immovable person blooms his own beautiful lotus flower right in the middle of samsara, this is called iron man, there is very interesting point mentioned by Tendai teaching, about three kinds of pure land, Tendai in Tendai school they explain describes three kinds of pure land,

[22:41]

the pure land is a place where you depend on, where you are present, that is the world, but the world is not something different from your own life, because the world is nothing but the place produced by your bodhisattva practice, so the world where you depend on is the bodhisattva practice itself, and then let's think about the three kinds of pure land, this is R, this is Jodo, R is to be,

[24:11]

to be, Jodo is pure land, Jodo is pure, Do is land, pure land, the first pure land is Aru Jodo, Aru Jodo means being the pure land, Aru Jodo means being the pure land, being the pure land is not the pure land of being, this is Uji mentioned by Dogen, U is being, J is time,

[25:30]

so time is exactly same as U, being, in this case being is absolutely identical with the pure land, so from this point all beings are exactly the pure land, so the being is the pure land, from this point the pure land is already presence of the immense expanse of ocean called Buddha, that is really immense expanse of Buddha, ocean which is called Buddha, that is called the being the pure land,

[26:31]

that is something which make it for all beings to be, so that the being the pure land is not a fixed being like a seed inside of avocado, it is not something like that, but it is the activity itself of avocado which makes it for the totality of avocado including skin, the fruit and the seed and also the all conditions, the sun, the moon, the air, the human effort to be, this is Buddha, Buddha is activity itself, nothing to conceptualize,

[27:35]

this is the being the pure land, so I told you all of you are including animate or inanimate beings are exactly right in the middle of the being the pure land, so you are already Buddha, your life is supported and helped by the Buddha's world, so all you have to do is just swim in the ocean, a huge immense expanse of ocean which is called Buddha or being the pure land, well how that is I told you before, not scoop water and pour the water into a bamboo basket, but you should soak bamboo basket in the water, this is what you have to do,

[28:38]

anyway, that is just drop dew constantly, just drop dew, according to mathematics we call it 0 times 1 equals 0, or 2, whatever kind of number you bring, 0 times 1 equals 0, 0 is this being the pure land, immensity, but this time means try to measure how huge this immensity is, using a lot of modern civilization technology, 1, 2, 3, computers and so forth, but whatever kind of human material technology and try to measure how huge the immensity is,

[29:46]

still answer is 0, even though you use a hundred or a thousand, it is 0, or even though the very perfect machine, but still like a kind of machine which of course in Star Wars, you can see your past life through the project, yes you can see, but don't think whatever kind, religious life, probably you can see the religious life through that project, what you have done, the religious practice, what you have done in the past can be projected through the machine, then you can see, oh here is the color he is, when he was, when he was one year old,

[30:46]

but it is still something, it is still something like provisional reality, it means still those things are still in the dimension of ariya-vijnana, still within the consciousness, whatever you say, unconsciousness or consciousness, within the consciousness or unconsciousness, all are completely diffusion, but it is called answer is 0, very simple, because whatever you see, whatever kind of answer you get, well those are just provisional reality, next time it appears, so you cannot anyway measure, so what should you do? you should, 0 plus 1, plus 1 equals what? answer is 1, this one is very simple, simplicity, this is activity itself,

[31:55]

where? in the immensity, you should drop down, just do your life, this is your life, karmic life, whatever you say, including karmic life, heredity, your knowledge, education, this is your life, then don't measure how much your life is, how huge your life is, just add, just your life, add to the immensity, at that time there is, answer is 1, this one is very full alive, fully alive, connected, connected where? in the immensity, you do all this mathematics like this, but you don't know, this is really life, mathematics teaches us life, so one person, one religious person says 0 is very important, and the other person says no, 0 is not important, 1 is important,

[33:01]

this one is very important, while 0 is still 0, 0 is you cannot touch it, you cannot touch it, all you can do is just be present in the 0, and just add, add to add is a very simple practice, activity, very simple, you know there are very interesting stories, there is a man, a king, invited three kings, he doesn't have anything, any nose, mouth, eyes, but his treatment was complete, so two kings really tried to express their appreciation to him, how? they didn't know, finally they found good ideas, why don't you give 7 holes, because through the 7 holes human beings can enjoy themselves,

[34:04]

nose, eyes, ears, mouth, this is called 6 consciousness, or 6 consciousness anyway, through the 6 consciousness, 6 holes, you can enjoy yourself, so they started to make holes in his body, one by one, and then it took 7 days, finally in the last days he finished making the 7th hole, this king died, if you touch, if you touch the immensity, you have to die, completely burn out, but if you ignore this immensity, you are frozen, very cold man, nothing to communicate with people, so you cannot touch, but you cannot ignore, so who should you do? just add, just add,

[35:05]

just be present, add your life, then at that time here in one, that's very great, life, be alive, so try not to scoop water and pour the water into bamboo basket, all you have to do is just soak your bamboo basket in the water, this is simplicity, practice of simplicity, well concretely speaking that is karagi, must be karagi, karagi must be karagi, that's very simple, very simple, karagi must be karagi, karagi become karagi as he is, and settle himself in the self, without conflicting with or competing with others, because who is karagi? karagi is right in the middle of the immensity,

[36:09]

so A.F. Katagiri just practiced simple practice, adding one from moment to moment, at that time his life is completely extending immensity, immense world, this is life, so karagi must be karagi, karagi must be karagi, without conflicting with or competing with, because tiny poppy seed, what's the difference between tiny poppy seed, between tiny poppy seed and mountain smell, same thing, poppy seed is qualified to live, to be existent in human world, as well as mountain smell, so what's the difference between tiny flower in the heart of the mountain,

[37:12]

or in the garden made by human being, same, because both have life itself, this life is very immense, so all you have to do is just express, manifest that immense expanse of the world, this is your life, so how? just act, practice simplicity, this is our Arudra Jodha, being the pure land, the second is, are you, yuku, jodo, yuku is to go,

[38:16]

jodo is pure land, so, going, toward, the pure land, second is, going toward the pure land, the, in Buddhism, we understand the world, the world, samsara, what samsara is, samsara is exactly same as, the, pure land, the world is exactly same as the pure land,

[39:24]

pure land, we call, the shaba, shaba, shaba is samsara, the world, shaba soku, soku, the jodo, jodo, shaba is the world, soku is nothing but, immediately, soku is immediately, or is, or nothing but, so shaba, nothing but, is nothing but jodo, exactly same, exactly same, no gap between, shaba and jodo, this is very common, important, ok, understanding, of, buddha,

[40:24]

retina, or, or, the samsara, and nirvana, whatever, ok, so, delusion is, enlightenment, enlightenment is, delusion, always there is, this understanding come up, ah, soku is, but in, buddhism, this soku is very important, very important, you should understand this soku, ah, yesterday I told you, soku means, interpenetrating activity itself, activity itself, of interpenetration, or interconnection, interconnection, interpenetration, constantly, this is called soku, so, soku is not,

[41:25]

something, which make it, possible, for something, to be, stagnant, it's always something move, ok, the soku is, idea, which enable you, to get, the, something, as it is, which is free alive, without, ah, making something, stagnant, this is soku, so for instance, yesterday I told you, rosary, ok, rosary, rosary, consist of, one hundred, and, eight, beads, beads, ok, in this case, each, bead, each beads, is, not each beads, separated, complete, entirely separated, from the rest of beads,

[42:26]

ok, if, each beads, each existence, separately, from, the, the rest of the beads, this, beads, is, very, like a dead bead, ok, dead bead, only, when, each beads, is, interconnected, interpenetrated, with, others, at that time, this beads, is very, valuable bead, valuable bead, so, it means, this beads, always working, toward, toward, in all directions, toward, all directions, always, constantly, interpenetrating, interconnecting, ok, so, at that time,

[43:27]

when, this beads, are, working, acting, toward, the, other, beads, at that time, this beads, is not the, part of, the rotary, ok, this beads, being, is, absolutely, identical, with, the rest of the, the totality, of, rotary, totality, so, this bead, is, exactly, same as the totality, of bead, rotary, ok, not part of, not part of, if you, at the, so, at that time, this is, total, totality, of the rotary, ok, at that time, this must be, always, working to, working with, ok, the totality, of rotary, then, ha, well, not,

[44:28]

destroying, the self, ok, not, destroying, the characteristic, of, this a, ok, a bead, a bead, beads, ok, a, b, c, d, ok, when, a works, with, b, c, d, and, x, ok, at that time, how can you, how can, a, work, with, rest of beads, ok, destroy, destroying, the, characteristic, of, a, no, the, making, give life, give life, to, a, ok, give life, to the characteristic, of a, as it is, ok, then, at that time, a, can work, with, the, b, c, d, e, x, ok, this is square,

[45:32]

this is a, and b, a is, this square, a, is not a part of this, ok, this square, c, this, a, square is, completely, whole, square, which is called c, ok, that time, a is, constantly working with, totality of the square, which is called c, so, at that time, a must be, fully alive, ok, giving life, to, the characteristic, of a, as it is, at that time, a, can have a chance, to work with, totality, of, square, which is called c, ok, so, this is, yuku jodo, yuku jodo, always, a,

[46:33]

is, yuku means, going toward, going toward, jodo is, jodo is, the world, in which, everything is, interconnected, all living beings, are interconnected, interpenetrated, this is, state of, pure land, the world, human world, that is called, buddha world, so, should move, toward, always, so, must be, always go, b, c, d, all, all beings, b, means, must be, must go, to, a, c, d, always, so, what do you mean, what do you mean by, giving life, to, the characteristic, of a, as it is, it is not, the cause of, growing, egoistic, egoistic, because, if you have,

[47:34]

ego, when you try, to work, with, people, all sentient beings, you can't work, because, that is, big ego, I am a, ok, if you say, I am a, you can't, a can't work, sort of, you know, like this, ok, look at this, people, pictures, people, pictures,

[48:03]
