The next Buddha will not take the form of an individual.
The next Buddha may take the form of a community;
a community practicing understanding and loving kindness,
a community practicing mindful living.
This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the Earth."
(Thich Nhat Hanh)
This is the motivating wind , the navigating compass, the Vision of this Revolution..........
the Buddha is just a metaphor
ReplyDeleteinspired by a man
alluded by the community
and has very little affect on the earth
it might affect those who are inspired...
inspired to act; that one act
can possibly change his or herself
the man named Buddha or whoever they are
can aspire others with imagination; which has no form
but by alluding with a simple metaphor
an act that take time to reflect in silence
in this quiet space, returns to nature
even possibly without mind; nor concepts
of understanding, compassion and/or mindful living
as in a child full of light
and warm radiance
inspired joy.
