| Buddha in a full lotus posture |
Celebrated Buddha Pournami, "that momentous full moon night when Gautama blossomed in to Buddha" as Sadhguru put it, on May 17, with sacred Buddhist chants and offernigs at the Dhyanalinga Temple ,as well as evening and midnight meditation. Buddha Pournami is the full moon day that marks the birth, enlightenment (nirvana) and ultimate liberation (parinirvana or mahasamadhi) of Gautama Buddha and also serves as a reminder to us all that we carry the same potential within us. The planetary positions on this day are considered to be very conducive for one's inner evolution. READ MORE>>
The Tree The Moon The Man
A prince wrapped in the folds
of regal pleasures and platitudes
Stung by the pain of ignorance
leaves all that a lesser man would cherish
The power of prince hood, comfort of palace
warmth of a loving wise and joys of an infant son
The scourge of ignorance sears his mind
that he chooses to beg than be a Baron
The barrenness of not knowing could not be denied
to the one who was burning longing
The coolness of the full moon
An appropriate setting for the flowering
That cooled and quenched...
'O the blossoming of Knowing
Love & Blessings
