More than the sunlight and the nutrients it picks up from the air, the forest gets energy from its own dead matter.<br \/>\nWe can be the same. Often we feel like we have no energy or the situation is overwhelming us. It\u2019s very rarely the situation. It\u2019s just that we\u2019re keeping 70 percent of our energy locked in our own dead karma. So practicing is very important. If you practice correctly, you\u2019ll digest your own dead karma, and you\u2019ll have lots of energy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] In a deciduous forest about 70 to 80 percent of the energy comes from its own dead matter-the leaves and trees that fall and rot over a period&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[189,206,207],"tags":[],"post_folder":[421],"class_list":["post-19613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-189","category-weekly-teaching-pieces","category-zen-master-daebong"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
