Labeling and condemnation does not seem to offer much of a solution to
violence.Action does.Hatred cannot be stopped by hatred.Wise action is
needed.As Zen practitioners we seek to transcend our old categories of
good and bad and reach to the source of wisdom and compassion.When you
come forth from there,you come forth appropriately.Wisdom and
Compassion are not mere phylosophycal terms, they are a reality, true
love and truly correct and precise action can only come from Them.But
we have to trust, immense trust is needed.Let s not water the seeds of
violence in us,please instead lets water the seeds of compassion in
us.This is our practice... Even in the most difficult circumstances,
when you feel isolated by the malice of people,by misunderstandings,
when injustice is everywhere and the world is in crisis...Maintain
your practice and your understanding will deepen.The green pear hangs
in the sunshine, and the farmer says confidently,"Not yet!"
