Tree of Knowledge-Haiku

Very well expressed.

Hi Nithya, have seen the Bodhisattva tree and experienced this energy. The thought that once upon a time Buddha sat under this tree sends waves of delight down my spine. Thanks for reviving those memories with your beautiful haiku.

Amazing of how you express the tree it makes me see the true life of Buddha.

Nithya, some tree this is. It must have been quite an experience for Buddha to sit under it and imbibe peace and strength from this one of his sources.

That explains it so well. Peaceful and learning. Wonderful!

Beautifully expressed Haiku. You summed up the atmosphere around the Bodhi tree so well. I am fortunate to have seen this amazing tree. One feels peaceful and at calm there, which is reflected in your well expressed poem.

Thanks for sharing.

Simply serene and reflective of the tree itself

Your words paint a beautiful picture.

I know nothing about Buddha, but this tree sounds interesting.

Thanks for sharing.

You definitely know how to write haiku.

Your poem beautifully praises this majestic tree.

Your poem about the Bodhi tree and Buddhism flows beautifully. The photos of that tree are magnificent.

The poems are beautiful, Nithya. They contain a lot of meaning in a few lines, which is a type of poetry that I love.

This is beautiful!

Both very sublime pieces, Nithya. I like them a lot! This tree is very majestic.

What a perfect haiku and tribute to the Tree of Knowledge that Buddha found enlightenment sitting under. Nice work Nithya.

Thanks for your concern, Liz!

My little sortie was fine but I live in a small Somerset town which, when there are no visitors, is very civilised! I only went into Boots to collect a prescription then enjoyed my usual walk by the sea.

Always enjoy your verses, Nithya, and you did keep me calm!

A lovely tree, a lovely way to spend a few hours, gaining enlightenment, and a wonderful haiku to celebrate the rewards of self-knowledge.

Thanks. This is very nice early in the morning.

Hope your trip went well, Ann. You have more courage than me!

This haiku has a lovely rhythm to it, Nithya. Your well chosen words fit the subject very appropriately.

Your words are like a gentle stream - so beautiful and serene.
