The phantom planters trust!

-

 The Buddha Corporation is Born!!!

I did a post awhile back about trying to raise money to buy up land to make into a memorial orchard/community orchard and that I had made an estate agent a proposed offer on a piece of land which he hasn't got back to me about but thats not to say there isn't other land out there!

I couldn't believe the amount of you who were willing to donate for this and it really got me thinking about setting a trust to buy up land and make them into community orchards.

I was amazed at the amount of offers and have been thinking that this should be put to good use!

The phantom planters are an army now that can really make a difference in this world!

So I've changed my name to Siddhartha Gautama which is the name of the Buddha!

The Buddha will be the Director of the Phantom Planters Trust.....

Now the world is my oyster and I'm getting the pearl, just need to change my passport and driving licence and setup a new trust bank account and lets all get playing our part in helping heal our communities and mother nature!

I believe I was trained for this, growing up around my Delboy dad I've bought and sold everything over my life, from a shoelace to a double decker bus, theres not much I haven't sold but I feel somehow that my experience in aiming for king rat on the monopoly board was not a waste, it was an education and now I will use these skills for the benefit of the community and mother nature....

Lets make prototype community orchards and duplicate them worldwide!

May the Buddhas be with us....

If my Delboy dad could see me now, 

"them boodoos have you possessed son" 

is what he used to say when I first started phantom planting fruit trees in our estate, my dad just couldn't get his head around it why I was planting trees out of my own money and not making anything from it!



When I first read and learned about Karma yoga which is a practice that can purify you, something woke up in me, it couldn't have made more sense, phantom planting trees is my Karma Yoga and its worked for me so far, life changing what these Boodoos are telling us!


May I take refuge in the Buddha, the dharma and the sangha until I attain enlightenment for the benefit of all beings....

I challenge you to phantom plant a tree! Anywhere, anytime, any place.....

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with a po

From Spain to Belfast Phantom Planting!

  Phantom planted another apple tree yesterday with my big glaswegian pal who is over visiting! He couldn't believe the size of the orchard now! Last time we planted a tree was years ago in Spain, 2 plum trees we phantom planted out there, sadly they didn't survive but we had great fun doing it in the lashing rain right outside the Buddhist Stupa as you can see in one of the pics, an offering to the Buddha was my intention! I was at the worst of my addictions back then, used to visit this Stupa a lot for spiritual guidance, really found myself out there, spent a lot of time in Spain soul searching, taking advantage of the cheap winter flights and free stay! I had my last ever pint at the airport after praying at this Stupa, the Buddha responded to my offering I believe! Pretty magical really, faith in a higher power guys, that did it for me, there's more to all this life, more to all this all this world! "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"..
