"The entire universe in the ten directions is one bright pearl." In Ikka myōju, #Dōgen develops this image to illustrate the nondual nature of reality, where all phenomena are interconnected and mutually inclusive, challenging conventional distinctions between self and world, subject and object. Here's a brief summary and discussion of the fascicle:

Peace begins when you stop trying to control what was never yours to control. Let what comes, come. Let what stays, stay. Let what leaves, leave. You can love deeply without clinging, and care without losing yourself. Sometimes, the greatest freedom is learning to let life unfold without fighting every change.

Few are the people
who reach the Far Shore.
These others
simply scurry along
this shore.But those who practice Dhamma
in line with the well-taught Dhamma,
will cross over the realm of Death
so hard to transcend.

If we don't critically analyze things, we become lost in a world of make-believe that has very little correspondence with reality. Shantideva compares self-obsession and its attendant conflicting emotions to a demon:
"All the harm with which this world is rife, All fear and suffering that there is, Clinging to the "I" has caused it!
What am I to do with this great demon?!?"The Buddhist definition of a
demon is something harmful."The Practice of LoJong"

One thing which bothers me about the prose in the Sutta Pitaka is it often presents plot devices as facts, eg: the Bāhiya Sutta (Ud 1.10) tells a story of a monk who is in a hurry to attain enlightenment, instantly attains it after talking to Buddha, then immediately dies from a cow attack.

A COURSE IN MIRACLES 💎
Today’s Lesson 202:
“I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.”And the reviewed idea is:
“I will be still an instant and go home.”
For today, I’d keep it very simple: nothing to reach for, nothing to manufacture. Just let the body sit, breathe, and be included in stillness. “Home” is not somewhere else. It is the instant in which you stop insisting that you are elsewhere.

STOP FEEDING CONFLICT
I did the A Course in Miracles Workbook for years.
Over and over.
I understood many of the lessons.
I valued them.
But I did not find lasting peace through them.
The mind could still turn a grievance, a fear, or an argument into a full-on unsettling production.
Then I began answering mental conflict with two simple words:
NO COMMENT.
I had no idea whether something so simple would work.
I only hoped it might.
What I did not yet realise was that all those years of doing the Workbook, however poorly, had trained my mind to listen to me.
So when I said NO COMMENT, and kept saying it, the mind eventually got the message.
Not as suppression.
Not as denial.
Not even as another argument with the ego.
Just no participation.
A thought appears.
NO COMMENT.
A grievance starts gathering evidence.
NO COMMENT.
Fear wants a hearing.
NO COMMENT.
For me, this simple practice has now replaced the Workbook.
Not the Text.
Not the Manual for Teachers.
I still need those because they explain the thought system and remind me not to make up my own spirituality.
My daily practice has become very simple now.
The Workbook trained my mind to listen to me.
NO COMMENT gives it one clear instruction:
Stop feeding conflict.
That is where the peace began.

HOT SAUCE APOCALYPSE
Yesterday the lunch place had run out of hot sauce.
In Australia, this is barely news.
Aussies don’t really do hot sauce.
But some of us do.
Some of us have built whole fragile emotional ecosystems around a few drops of chilli on lunch.
I agreed to sweet chilli sauce instead, because apparently I am very mature.
But I did register my disappointment with the manageress.
Politely.
Firmly.
Historically.
Then I went for my walk.
Then I did my breathwork.
Then I noticed the day still had a slight dent in it.
This caught me off guard.
I had only just been saying that everything is perfect all the time now.
Apparently, “everything” includes the lunch place running out of hot sauce and me quietly wanting the owner told so this national disgrace never happens again.
That is how the ego works.
It does not just want lunch.
It wants justice.
And there it was.
Not a catastrophe.
Not a spiritual failure.
Just a tiny place where preference had turned into grievance.
The hot sauce was missing.
The peace was not.
I had simply misplaced it for a moment under the sweet chilli sauce.

SIMPLY DO THIS
The truth simplifies everything.
You don’t need to be kind because it is a moral duty.
You don’t need to be kind because it makes you spiritual.
You don’t need to be kind because it improves the self.
In reality, kindness is all that remains available.
The unkindness was the complication.
Fear, defence, grievance, specialness, needing to be right, needing to win, needing to be safe.
All of that makes kindness seem like a choice.
But when defence falls quiet, kindness is not manufactured.
It is simply what is left.
So the question becomes very simple:
What is the kind thing now?
Say less.
Soften the tone.
Tell the truth.
Leave the door open.
Put the fire on.
Feed the dog.
Drink the coffee.
Do nothing.
Simply do this.

CLIMBING DOWN
#Hirayama, in #Perfect Days, is not a failed climber.
He is someone who saw the #ladder clearly and stopped obeying it.
That is a very different thing.
The world keeps whispering: more #status, more #usefulness, more #achievement, more #improvement, more #proof that the self is becoming something.
No one has to #whip us anymore. We do it internally and call it ambition.
Hirayama’s freedom is not that he cleans #toilets. That could easily be another prison.
His freedom is that he is not using his life to become impressive.
Water does not need to win.
The useless #tree does not need to justify its #existence.
And “I need do nothing” does not mean sitting around uselessly. It means I do not need to #manufacture a self.
The #body can #clean, #breathe, #walk, make #coffee, light #fires, put #shoes on, feed #dogs, and #love the ones nearby.
But there does not have to be a grand inner project of becoming #Worthy
Simple living is not automatically #holy.
Low status is not #awakening.
A small life can still be full of #grievance, vanity and comparison.
But a life without #comparison ?
That is #freedom.
Maybe the real act is not #climbingdown.
Maybe it is stopping the argument with where I am.

If like me, you have been confused by your mixed feelings about #EffectiveAltruism, this is a great read.
https://www.persuasion.community/p/the-problem-with-effective-altruism
"Both Marxism and effective altruism claim that they have figured out the true way to make the world a better place. And both Marxism and effective altruism flatter their adherents into thinking that this gives them a key role in a movement that will prove to have world-historical importance."
Imho, #buddhism solves these problems naturally. What do you think?
