Sometimes i come across a tree which seems like buddha or jesus: loving, compassionate, still, unambitious, enlightened, in eternal meditation, giving pleasure to a pilgrim, shade to a cow, berries to a bird, beauty to its surroundings, health to its neighbors, branches for the fire, leaves for the soil, asking nothing in return, in total harmony with the wind and the rain. how much can i learn from a tree? the tree is my church, the tree is my temple, the tree is my mantra, the tree is my poem and my prayer.

More From Satish Kumar

And what does the rain say at night in a small town, what does the rain have to say? who walks beneath dripping melancholy branches listening to the rain? who is there in the rain’s million-needled blurring splash, listening to the grave music of the rain at night, september rain, september rain, so dark and soft? who is there listening to steady level roaring rain all around, brooding and listening and waiting, in the rain-washed, rain-twinkled dark of night?
Rain Dark Night
Once the law, properly enacted, is routinely ignored, and ignored with the blessing and the promotion of the political class, then you have a breakdown of organized society. and there is nothing compassionate about what's happening to the people of arizona. there is nothing compassionate about the violation of private property rights. there is nothing compassionate about the abuse of the taxpayer. there is nothing compassionate about the closing of schools and hospitals. nothing at all compassionate about increased drug trafficking and crime. nothing compassionate about that at all.
School Blessing Rights
How much i can learn from a tree! the tree is my church, the tree is my temple, the tree is my mantra, the tree is my poem and my prayer.

How come people always flip and think they're jesus? why not buddha? particularly in america, where more people resemble buddha than jesus. 'ah'm buddha!' 'you're bubba!' 'ah'm buddha now..all i gotta do is change 3 letters on ma belt.
Jesus Thinking America
When we say, "i take refuge in the buddha," we should also understand that "the buddha takes refuge in me," because without the second part the first part is not complete. the buddha needs us for awakening, understanding, and love to be real things and not just concepts. they must be real things that have real effects on life. whenever i say, "i take refuge in the buddha," i hear "the buddha takes refuge in me."
Real Understanding And Love
If grief or anger arises, let there be grief or anger. this is the buddha in all forms,sun buddha, moon buddha, happy buddha, sad buddha. it is the universe offering all things to awaken and open our heart.
