Buddha's thoughts found its roots at the <br />Bodhi tree, budded and bloomed into <br />A thousand flowers blown to all corners <br />Of the world converting myriad thoughts of <br />Adherents repainting <br />The fabric of religions analoguous <br />To artists who style the world <br />In shades of Impressionism, Cubism, <br />Surrealism and Realism. <br />Through Zen, a meditation discipline <br />Where masters could even tell through his ears <br />Which hand a disciple uses in knocking a door, <br />Ramayana where spirits of the heavens crowd <br />The world to help sin-ladened souls escape <br />The grim cycles of reincarnations; <br />Fate of souls also fooled by the movement <br />Of the universe spawning superstitions. <br />And Theravada where each being sanctions <br />His own hell or heaven through deeds. <br />The Buddha sees and listens to all in quiet repose<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/buddha-3/
