    109/108 Gates of Dharma Illumination

    The One Hundred and ninth Gate

    The state in which water is sprinkled on the head is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it], following birth in a family, we are at last able to realize anuttara samyaksambodhi.

    Anuttara Samyaksambodhi :
    the supreme right and balanced state of complete truth

    Ah Shokai! Of course there is one more Gate.

    In honor of your birthday tomorrow, I figured one more verse was in order:

    Not to be wasted
    So precious
    Is this human birth

    Feeding the Lotus stream.

    Happiest of birthdays, Jindo Shokai.

    Open to Life in a benevolent way,
    He attains the Way Supreme,
    An astronaut beyond time, space, life and death.


    Have a wonderful birthday!
