More From Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach

When we shout at the oak tree, the oak tree is not offended. when we praise the oak tree, it doesn't raise its nose. we can learn the dharma from the oak tree; therefore, the oak tree is part of our dharmakaya. we can learn from everything that is around, that is in us.
Tree Noses Praise
An oak tree is an oak tree. that is all it has to do. if an oak tree is less than an oak tree, then we are all in trouble.

Our own economy tells us to take as much as we can get, right? our own economy says, you're going to be the most successful graduate if you go into the business world and take as much you can get. that's not how nature works. nature has a much simpler economy. everything in nature takes what it needs. that's it. you don't see an oak tree gathering up all the resources. an oak tree takes what it needs to be the authentic oak tree it is.
Successful Simplicity Tree
Do you know that even when you look at a tree and say, `that is an oak tree', or `that is a banyan tree', the naming of the tree, which is botanical knowledge, has so conditioned your mind that the word comes between you and actually seeing the tree? to come in contact with the tree you have to put your hand on it and the word will not help you to touch it.
Hands Tree Mind
An oak tree and a rosebush grew, young and green together, talking the talk of growing things- wind and water and weather. and while the rosebush sweetly bloomed the oak tree grew so high that now it spoke of newer things- eagles, mountain peaks and sky. "i guess you think you're pretty great," the rose was heard to cry, screaming as loud as it possibly could to the treetop in the sky. "and now you have no time for flower talk, now that you've grown so tall." "it's not so much that i've grown," said the tree, "it's just that you've stayed so small.
Flower Thinking Talking
Sometimes i come across a tree which seems like buddha or jesus: loving, compassionate, still, unambitious, enlightened, in eternal meditation, giving pleasure to a pilgrim, shade to a cow, berries to a bird, beauty to its surroundings, health to its neighbors, branches for the fire, leaves for the soil, asking nothing in return, in total harmony with the wind and the rain. how much can i learn from a tree? the tree is my church, the tree is my temple, the tree is my mantra, the tree is my poem and my prayer.
