The Rain Has Stopped, The Clouds Have Drifted Away,and The Weather Is Clear Again.If Your Heart Is Pure,

“The rain has stopped, the clouds have drifted away, and the weather is clear again. If your heart is pure, then all things in your world are pure. Abandon this fleeting world, abandon yourself, Then the moon and flowers will guide you along the Way.” ~ Ryōkan (Translation by John Stevens)

Breaking into small specialized groups they are revealing knowledge to influence society to stir away from destructive practices. Hearts are being softened by compassionate service and meaningful dialogue. Clarity into our current situation is provoking the otherwise silent powers to awaken their gifts and put away ego driven mindsets of others.

Life is impermanent, but we think that it is permanent. And the biggest mistake is to see ourselves as a separate self entity, not interbeing with the whole cosmos and all beings.
