“According to accounts of the Buddha's life, it would seem that he had a very deep relationship with nature. He was not born in the royal palace but in a park, under a sala tree. He attained complete enlightenment under the bodhi tree and left this earth to enter Parinirvana, again, between three sala trees. It would seem that the Buddha was very fond of trees.” SeemsEarthThreeLeftBornTreeEnlightenmentAccountsForestsParksRoyalPalacesVery DeepDeep RelationshipRoyal Palaces Author:Dalai Lama

“I began researching and writing what I intended as a book-length essay entitled Fascination and Liberation, exploring the question of whether there is a conflict between creativity and the Eastern form of enlightenment. I don't know if I'll ever finish that essay, because I had an experience, after I'd written two or three chapters, in which it seemed to me that my psychic antibodies decisively rejected Buddhism. Interestingly, the rejection felt as if it happened in Zen terms.” IfsKnowsWritingTwoBookFormThreeFeltTermCreativityWrittenHappenedBuddhismConflictEnlightenmentLiberationRejectionLengthChaptersRejectedEntitledExploringPsychicsEasternEssaysFascinationAntibodies Author:Quentin S.
