It's taken some Time to realize {Real Eyes} that the Property I maintain CAN be a Form {Manifestation} of, what I will label, a 'Sidewalk Ministry' . Recall the 1st Definition of Zen = "A Special Transmission outside the Scriptures, with no Dependence on Words or Letters" . Here it is where the Experience of Zen can be actualized by mere Gazing [ in this instance, on the gardens, and areas I have 'brought in' from the Emerald Beyond .
Know this about 'Temple Life' :: When-ever you have "free" Time, otherwise recorded as, "Luxury Time" in Buddhism, you are EXPECTED to use that Time to enhance the Beauty of the Temple and its Grounds . So it is with me . These Grounds are TEMPLE Grounds, and as such, are Sacred . Any Activity performed and/or conducted on the Grounds, whether it is maintenance or creative,, is a manifestation of Love, properly identified as Devotion . I believe it is singular to me, that I want these Grounds to be as Beautiful as I can get them in order to entice the Celestial Beings to Visit and bestow Their Blessings upon me and my Effort. I am selfish -- Believe it .
