Ajhan Chah Dhamma Talk

THE ROOTS

We're like a tree with roots,a base,& a trunk.Every leaf,every branch,depends on the roots to absorb nutrients from the soil & send them up to nourish the tree.

Our body,plus our words & deeds,our senses of sight,hearing,smell,taste,& feeling,are like the branches,leaves,& trunk.The mind is like the roots absorbing nutrients & sending them up the trunk to the leaves & branches so that they flower & bear fruit.

So is up to as wanted to let it bear fruit & flowers.
