Enlightenment Day and Fig Trees

DNA Come, Ego Go

by Daishin

In Chinese and Japanese civilization, when times are rough and chaotic, people’s go-to for security has been to consult with or contemplate the ancients of the past – the ancestors. The ancestors are not just a romantic idea. There is no need to hire a psychic and do a séance to bring them back to communicate with them in some highly emotional way. In Asian thought, they are always right here with us, closer than our own breath, sharing our body and mind with us. We only need to look into the cells and atoms of our own hand to find them. Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh recommended this as a practice when we are feeling lonely.
