Genocide for Buddhists
Some floorboards that I have a need to walk on
have been infested/inhabited with woodworm.
Did I tap on each tiny hole
and allow the active moth larva to gently drop
onto wood shavings,
then transport them to a decaying retirement forest?
No.
I sprayed.
In a future life I might come back as a plank of wood
His Holiness the Buddha Metta Ray, might sit on that plank.
What if that was holey too?
What if worm eaten wood collapsed
just as he was giving his first discourse for
the edification of assorted ignorants?
In the Nirvana Sutra it is taught that the Buddha never, ever,
truly dies or becomes destroyed.
“Every worm is a Buddha.”
Phew.
I think I just got away with murder.
In between the death and destruction I created a Shard of light . . .
Shard is a version of Linux Tmxxine using the Xfce window manager
and needs less ram.
May all worms find Peace and Happiness.
Even the spammer bot creators that recently
took over the comments of this blog with ads.
