Dhyana Buddha Poem by Angelina Pandian
Dhyana Buddha
[A poem written on request for the portrait by the same name contributed by Premji for the cover page of “Universal Call for Peace”]
My Dhyana Buddha he sits
Under the Bodi Tree once again
Meditating on the hate and greed of men
He closes his eyes in sorrow in pain.
Will mankind never change?
Though centuries have rolled between
Sad, my Buddha sits with a skull in hand
Which once a white lotus bud had held
Sad, my Buddha sits in sorrow in pain
In the shadows of death not ordained by God
But, offspring of man - Terrorism and War
The pure light, white from His soul
Splinters into a million shards
Of multi-coloured spearheads
From His holy lotus seat Padmasana
Which pierce, ripping into our hearts
To make us bleed with love to heal!
Will we sit around simply see him cry
Will we come together and unite
To start a blazing light of peace so bright
To lead those living in the dark into life!
Lord Buddha is the symbol of peace and spiritual enlightenment from me. Of course he would have cried to see the fanaticism, terrorism and wars around us.
it is the one and only painting in my life.... yet to know: how could i do it.................. pain...absolute pain................................. you burn me......

we have had so many of them , budda, jesus and gandhi all in their own way...after they left all of what they taught and fought only became institutions...a lifeless objective...they truely enjoyed what they did fear is something they never had...or they out grew fear...and fear and not greed is the root cause of all the evils today...glorification of them was not what they wanted...each and every soul should GLORIFY itself to win over fear and it is a total participation without a physical leader...no doctrine is going to win over fear for us it is our individual endavour
