My World Tues - Plant A Tree


Together with Rev. Mahinda and Sis. Sumangala, we plant a tree in the compound of Alokarama Retreat Centre during the recent Green Thumb Workshop. The sapling of this fragrant flowering plant was brought back by Rev. Mahinda from Sarnath, India (which was the deer park where the Buddha preached his first sermon).

I really had lotsa fun learning about herbs gardening and nutritional diet during the workshop. It was also a spiritual uplifting weekend for us as we were able to take time off our hectic lives to calm our mind with meditation and minful living.

Very nice cause. I used to plant small plants in my school, no idea what happened to them now.

"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith
