The following are tweets by Jetsunma about caring for wildlife. Her home is a designated wildlife sanctuary.
I am creating a sacred grove as an animal refuge. We put in fruits, berries, wildflowers for the critters.
I have bee plants and bees, butterfly plants and bird plants. Also water, birdfeeders. My offering.
Wherever I am the wild ones are well cared for. Including bird houses for nesting.
I collect wildflower seeds. How the butterflys love wild nettle! Finches too. I am an official wildlife sanctuary!
We plant forage for deer and offer corn n apples. When I see animal friends I sing OM MANI PADME HUM for them.
How lovely to see the critters happy. Don’t forget p’nut butter for squirrels n Jays! Esp when cold.
Om Mani Padme Hum. Try to give the heart some room to LOVE. Chant OM MANI PADME HUM every day.
Today I saw a praying mantis stalk, capture and eat his pray. Never doubt that samsara is filled with suffering
In the future the hunter will be hunted. The pray will be the hunter. Karma is exacting
How fortunate the being who strives to do no harm and gather virtue. This is the cause of happiness.
How pitiful that the cycle of cause and result continue, and we are ignorant of the equation.
But the real Karma here is I always provide habitat, food, forage and housing for all wild beings.
I believe that is the cause of this kind result. I am never without a lovely home and my family is fed.
How could I accept these gifts if I did not pay it forward with kindness toward all beings? I bow down to the Buddha in all.
It’s really fall! The air is sweet and crisp. I notice salt blocks for deer and other critters need changing up- down to the nubs now.
The deer know me and allow me to sing Mantra to them. We also have a great blue heron who hangs out here. Magnificent wingspan! And posture.
Took a long walk today. The colors and fall sunlight- like precious jewels. I offer all to my Root Guru for the sake of sentient beings.
I feel grateful to live with such splendor. Wildflowers, giant trees, lush fields, fruit bearing trees and bushes for the animals! Very cool
I am watching local birdies set up roosting for the winter cold. Cute- and busy. We have dozens of bird houses. Always getting more.
Very Cool!
