Growing Buddhas

As a keen plant whisperer, it is my practice to plant the right seeds . . .

Do you grow?

    Good grass. I believe bamboo is a type of grass . . .
    I watered and was patient and grew a whole garden

    The link in your first post is faulty. It seems that site is resistant to access. Could you test them before posting?
    Thanks.

    Sorry Federica, :-/
    The first link is dead as in no longer reincarnating. I posted what I thought was a working resource. Thankfully using the resources of the way back machine (an internet archiving service) I was able to resurrect the dead. The third posting has the complete link.
    here is a little bit of the planting:

    If we see the garden as the mind then:

    1. Paths are the clear ways to enlightenment.
    2. The condition of the soil is the state of our karma.
    3. The plantings represent both fruitful and blossoming ideas,
    and perennial and dying concepts.
    4. Seasons are the fluctuations of the mind.
    Peace and serenity are always associated with gardening. When we walk with intent (walking meditation)
    we should be aware of those on our journey who need our attention,
    whether self or other as personified in the garden.

    Mindful weeding is attention with purpose
    and this will help us clear our own overgrown patches . . .
