planting seeds

mamalove

I was talking to someone recently about how to deal with a particular issue, and they spoke of planting seeds. The suggested that what it is that I needed, i should meditate on how I can deliver this to someone else, then go forward and do that for someone...and that in this way i allow taht energy to be attracted to me.

I have not been very successful in finding further reading regrding this and would like to expand my understanding of it.

Can anhyone else out there speak to this and their understanding of it?

To be honest, it just sounds a little bit of 'new agey' "do as you would be done by."
To get happiness, give happiness.

The action is its own reward....

I do like the "People who want to change the world should first start with a small garden" though.
That resonates with me....

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful....

For me planting seeds means that you say things which won't help immediately but later on that person will remember. I feel my father and brother do that sometimes with me.

You may explore earthstore bodhisavatta sutra that details alot over the seedings aspects. Especially her personal meditation for her mother who led her to attain enlightenment to become earthstore bodhisavatta. And her mother owing to her merit of meditation for her, accended to heaven, not only her mother alone, those group suffering together with her mother also accended to heaven as well. Spectacularly awesomic power of heart to heart supersonic loving kindness transferable power and so dearingly human and superhumn.
