"the buddhist teaching known as "esho funi" reveals that life and its enviornment are essentialy one. this concept, which is of course a particular aspect of the general oneness of all things in the universe, gives us human beings great insight on how we should live our lives.
for example, if one arrives home from work in an angry mood because things have not gone good during the day it does not take long for this anger to permeate the entire household. petty squables and bickering are very likely to occur in these circumstances. if we release this and decide to put the problems of the day into their correct attitude. what a difference it makes!
another important result of taking the teaching of esho funi to heart is that it becomes unthinkable to pollute our country or the planet in any way whatsoever for in doin so we are polluting our lives and the lives of all people including those we love most."
"if the minds are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land. there are not two lands, pure and impure in themselves. the difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds."
-Nichiren Daishonin, the 13th century Japanese sage

Video documentation of a performance piece by my friend Nate Kassel who rode around on his bike slapping high-fives to people who were trying to hail taxi cabs in NYC. Enjoy!
Yo Esho, we'd like to invite you out to a
multimedia event we are involved with surrounding the end of times. It
will be a theatrical enactment of the end of the world using live sound
and visual arts. It will be taking place in an archaic cathedral in the
heart of Wicker Park. This event was inspired by the soon-ending Mayan
calendar, sacred geometry, and other mystic and psychedelic
revelations. Matrameru will be performing brand new unreleased material
specifically sculpted for the unique location of this event.

Welcome friend! Here is a pink rose for you from my garden this past growing season. It has long been said that Pink Roses are often gifted as a symbol of admiration. I truly admire your talent and I very pleased to welcome you as a new friend. I also admire your creativity and look forward to visiting here from time to time for inspiration.
