Prologue 90

 

Not fearful of being burned into ashes at Mt. Toribe (the cremation ground), 

But of the karmic power that is pulling us into profound darkness.

This life is impermanent, like morning dew. Therefore, it is essential that we first resolve our own personal problem of birth-and-death.

The inferno of hell starts burning right at our feet. If we listen to the Dharma in such a state of mind, we will naturally come to savour the authentic taste of the Buddha Dharma, and at the same time feel the Primal Vow-Power of the Tathagata of Great Compassion.
