ENVIRONMENT
THE BODDHI TREE
The Boddhi Tree is called the great tree of life because all that is needed for lasting peace can be found in its roots, trunk, branches and fruits. The Buddha sat under the Boddhi Tree for many weeks in quiet contemplation and gained enlightenment.
(Step by Step Maha Ghosananda)
Near The Boddhi Tree in our garden is an original Khmer carving done by a young Siem Reap artist. He wanted to depict the Apsara of the environment, dancing to celebrate the beauty of creation, and calling for care of the earth and the universe and for action to avoid the bad effects of climate change. Think of the islands sinking in the Pacific.
We are invited to reflect on the environment of Cambodia. Its rivers bled with slaughter of the Pol Pot area; many of its forests have now been ravaged by greedy wood hunters from other nations, and greedy sellers who do not think of the impact on the earth and on the future.
Beautiful Cambodia, land of sugar palms, fruit, flowers, fish, stars, sunrise, sunset and pure blue sky calls us all to reverence our universe.
