40 more oak trees planted!
Me and wee betty planted about 40 oak trees yesterday down at the bottom of our Lisnabreeny orchard.
Past while I have changed the way I have been planting bare root trees. Takes a wee bit longer than usual but every one I've been planting I just know they are going to thrive well.
I love my solo tree planting meditations, so good for me and so good for nature. Its also good being part of the antidote to all this destructiveness that is the way of our world.
Some nice things have came my way in life recently so its important for me to practice more good deeds and generosity, keeping myself humble and grounded. Some Buddhists say if your life is good then your reaping the rewards of past merit earned. So its important to keep generating more good merit for the future.
My delboy dad always said you make your own luck in life, I think he was a secret Buddha himself. He was always helping everyone and always giving people gifts. He was always laughing too and on his last days before he passed he said he has no bother in dying as he has lived the life of 10 men.
I must admit my dad probably had one of the best attitudes to life than anyone I know, and he had the best life too.
Planting trees for me has and always will be a spiritual practice. To offer over some of this human energy to help nature and the community is so important to me.
If the Buddha was here today he would be telling us to plant trees. The Buddha was a forest monk, he lived and taught in the forest. Today we have very little forests left.
Get planting and chanting guys and stock up your merit bank account.
Peace and love
The Phantom Planter and Wee Betty
