Philosophy of a beautiful flower
66Buddha's teaching
As we know lord Buddha was first in the world to form a society to transform individual consciousness to collective consciousness for betterment of mankind.One day the disciples were anxiously waiting for the master to come and deliver a good speech. Buddha in His ripe old age came stood and brought a flower near His eyes and left the scene.The crowd was astonished and kept mom. They could not understand what happened.
One disciple named Mahakasyap stood up and smiled with affirmation.He could understand what master told in silence!!!The philosophy of flower,What a flower teaches to mankind We should analyze and realize that it teaches 1- Internal harmony 2- External harmony
External Harmony-The flower decorates itself with other flowers in the tree harmoniously causing harm neither to other flowers nor to its source the tree. It makes the environment beautiful.This is required for the society. We the flowers should live harmoniously without causing harm to other living beings to make God's creation beautiful.
Internal Harmony -In a flower petals are harmoniously arranged along with stem and other parts to make the flower beautiful.Like that we should keep up our internal harmony by balancing our activity rather activity of our body and mind. By maintaining our physical harmony all our diseases that harm us due to physical disharmony stay away from us.
Lastly the flower wither away making the nature beautiful for a good cause. Likewise when we will render our final account before GOD, He will only ask
"What have you done for my creation"
How ever the philosophy of any thing,beautiful should be realised and learned.

Everything must be learned. I suppose. By the way, can you help identify the type of stupa at Bodhgaya at my http://travelpangs.blogspot.com ? Liudmila would love to know more about it. Check my post: Enlightened at Bodhgaya!
It is so complecated. Flowers are only flowers. God created them to beautify our life.
God's creatures have no need for anything. All are original and beautiful in their own way. We are caretakers of the world yet many have lost their way thinking we are seperated and alone.
I've always appreciated your photos and captions. Your spirit is strong and your words are wise.
