Pure Land

Here is the
Pure Land Pure Land is here,
full smile
care and live in the present moment.
The Buddha is seen in an autumn leaf,
Dharma is a cloud floating
the body of the Sangha is everywhere,
my true home is here.

Inspiring,
the flowers open;
exhaling, I am aware

swaying bamboo.
My mind is free
and joy of each moment.

Poem of the Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh explains in this poem and beyond our desires and our fears, to live with full attention the moment this is the path through which we connect with our inner peace. So to a simple Zen monk, the world becomes a paradise (the Pure Land of Sukhavati).

is the same lesson that Westerners find in works like "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, where the protagonist, after traveling the world looking for a treasure , just being in the where he always lived, or even in the philosophy of the Kabbalists: "Men think that paradise is in heaven, but the angels know that paradise on earth."

I recommend a book: Our true home. The path to the Pure Land written by Thich Nhat Hanh, published by Editions Oniro Castilian, http://www.edicionesoniro.com/
