Rain and dharma and coffee

I am sitting at my desk, looking to world getting soaked by the summer rain.

Sun hasn't come up yet so it's the time for me to write a little.

But my mind wanders driven by the sound of the rain. It falls down to earth and it's real. It gets you wet, it makes puddles and gives life to everything. Even if you run to cover from it, odds are that your feet will end up soaked.

No matter what you do, rain covers it all. It's there, it's real and you can't avoid it.

And I realize it's all I need.

Rain behaves like the Four Noble Truths.

Rain is life. Just like the dharma.

I sip my coffee. [coffee]

Just have to drop our raincoats of greed, rubber boots of anger and umbrellas of ignorance and remember to enjoy the dharma rain.

thanks for sharing that Kyonin. Enjoy your coffee-rain-dharma-moment

Thanks for this. We're having a drought here. But the rain will return one day, as it always does.

Just like dharma!

Your post reminds me of this wonderful movie clip posted by Rev. Jundo quite some time ago...

Gassho,

Reminds me of one of my favorite poems:

Rain on a Spring Night
Du Fou

Congratulations, rain
you know when to fall

and you know quite well
you belong to spring

coming at night, quiet
walking in the wind

making sure things
get good and wet

the clouds hang dark
over country roads,

there's one light from a boat
coming downriver

in the red morning
everything's wet

flowers all through Chengdu
heavy and full of rain.
