Buddham Saranam Gachhami - Namo Buddhay

बुद्धं शरणं गच्छामि।
धर्मं शरणं गच्छामि।
संघं शरणं गच्छामि।
Buddham saranam gachhami....
I take refuge in Buddha
Dhammam saranam gacchami
I go to the Dhamma for refuge
Sangham saranam gacchami
I go to the Sangha for refuge........

The Buddha was born under a tree.
The Buddha was Enlightened under a Bodhi tree.
The Buddha was grateful to the Bodhi tree
that sheltered Him before His Enlightenment.
It is said that He gazed at it in gratitude for seven days.
The Buddha taught in the shelter of trees and groves.
The Buddha passed into Parinirvana between two trees.

We see that the Buddha was one with nature and saw the importance of its relationship with us all. Respect nature. We belong to nature. Nature does not belong to us. Destroy nature and we destroy ourselves, for we are nature....
