“The lecture of Hannyashin sutra” by Kakushyo Takagami The 6th-1

The sixth lecture  ‘Awaken Karma‘

59) The rice dealer said making a joke with laughing yesterday.

Because listening the Emptiness or Mu in the holy sutra lecture every single day, so, I don’t have to worry if I suffer any losses ever. 

Even if don’t understand the profound meaning of emptiness, or at least, having a broad-minded and loose feelings that you are as much as enough with the birth of the nakedness, are correct as it is.

60） Reflecting on the original meaning of Hannya and doing it without wasting it, I would like to contribute to our life and society with all our heart and comfort so far. 

61) In short, if looking every inch, Buddhist fundamental teaching means Karma after all. The relations of interdependence of give-and-take and the principle that everything have the endless cycle, those truth come from the parent’s body named Karma completely. 

62) To tell the truth, the reason why a human’s son became Buddha was that realized Karma. Moreover, it is Buddhism that Buddha who got enlightenment taught the truth of Karma through his experience namely. Therefore, Buddhism means Buddha’s teaching. For all that because Buddha was realized person, Buddhism is for human being after all. And Buddhism is not the teaching by God, is the teaching by a human, doesn’t stay the heaven, stay the earth. 

63）Alpha and omega in the religions, the first and the last, they are ultimately though for human really.

From those who going astray rise to those who enlightened. From those who sleeping rise to those who awakened. 

There is the religious primary object in there.

All in all, the religion does not command a distant view and is here in our hart. The pure land does not another place. Where do you ask with devoting yourself? Where is the religion without human life at least? 

Therefore, the question of why you need the religion means why you have to live at the same time. 

64) Nothing is my alive rejoice, nothing is my sadness of death. they are all lies. It is right for us to feel the joy of living and to die with sadness. He who get enlightenment as living and death to be one, feels alive joy, feels death with sadness. It is good as it is. The important issue for us is that not being obsessed with it. Don’t be a slave about it.

65) Where is like a religion without human nature?

 A religion needs not for those who live in the world of heaven with getting be pretentious. Those who have muddy job and are worried in the world need it. 

It requires a religion for the human world where cannot be dream as a dream or give up for lost. 

Moreover, you will reach the religious world by deeply cultivating your own human way. You will reach it naturally. By without deeply cultivating your own hart, if searching your neighboring place, there is nothing religious fountain.
