THE DHARMA TREE 1


The roots are dharma and flow sap thru all of me.
The trunk is my know-mind, strong, steady, solid, firm, security.
The branches are my sense-mind, the place for empathy, compassion, communication other than with words, understanding, and sensitivity.
The twigs are my emote-mind, feelings, emotions, enthusiasm and energy.
The leaves are my think-mind, thought, contemplation, direction, attitude and memory.

Clearness and calmness come when I focus on my trunk; a concentrated dharma sap flows vibrantly.
Confusion and damage come when I live in my leaves; rains of Mara and winds of karma distort and damage me.
