Buddha's Journey

Carpe Diem #145 (Buddha's Nirvhana Ceremony)


Buddha's peaceful death
beckons me
to lie beside him

 ***

 Dragonfly hovers
then leads the way
Buddha's journey

    Lovely! There is something like a leader in the dragonfly's visual profile!

      Thanks so much! Yes, I love the symbolism of dragonflies and adore seeing them in real life. They seem to hover around me which is so beautiful.

      Me too! I was told his death was not so peaceful but prefer to think otherwise. Thank you for stopping by!

      Thank you! Such a lovely compliment. I can never tell what is good and what isn't except if someone tells me.

    I wonder
    if death is ever peaceful
    even for the old and tired

    beautiful haiku
    thinking about butterflies
    I forgot about dragons

    Cheers!

    I love to follow that dargonfly ... Buddha's entry to Nirvana must have been a joy for him.
