Thoughts on the Stone Statues at Night

"Since the sun and the moon correspond, there should be a moon if there is a sun."

"As the sun and the moon rise and set, their light blends. The moon should appear at night."

"But innumerable ages have seen the long night without the moon."

"That violates the endless natural process."

"As night falls, the moon rises. The word 'night' refers to the Everlasting night, but not the common one."

"It is not until the Dharma Ending Period of the Everlasting night that the moon will reappear and nature comes back to life."

"The world still has a way out if there is no extinction."

"In this case, the only thing required is to quietly wait for the long night. Why bother acting against the current?"

"Is Heaven also waiting for the arrival of the night?"

"Or is it dreading its arrival?"

"Does it fear the night itself, or the moon that arrives at night?"
