While a small bird attempts to save a burning forest, engaged in a seemingly futile mission, she flies back and forth from the river dripping water from her beak. As the lone bird is running out of energy, the Buddhist gods, representing a compassionate function in the universe, see her desperate efforts and are so moved by her sincerity that they begin to cry. The “rain” of their tears extinguishes the fire and the forest survives.
A Buddhist parable
GOD is creativity, the ONE, the force of LOVE, of order and perfection, of the divine and supreme. The string fabric of this Universe is LOVE. And of that garmit you surround for the connection to One. All of us One, all a piece, no better, no worse, but an integral, intimate part of the whole. Making connection to ONENESS is the Way, with many paths. As the great rivers of our world flow from the blood of the mountain. So the majestic river of life, the very sacred water of creation, flow from the source. Look Within, it is Us.
