On 17th May, Lord Buddha's Birthday was celebrated, hence thought of sharing some of my Haiku on Buddha and life.... This is also in celebration for the birthday of a friend on 22nd May....
Submitted to One Stop Poetry for their weekly One Shot Wednesday - WK 47.

| Zade Buddha in China |
__
The silent Buddha
Is not so silent
Listen from heart
__
I went to that lonely temple
Again, Buddha smiled
I was looking for pain
__
Buddha meditates in the song
The girl sings as she cleans the floor
Cleansing his soul
__
A rock solid thought
Plunged deeper in the pond
Calmness ripples across Buddha's smile

| This 100 year old Banyan tree is in the Center of Auroville, Puducherry |
Looking at young Bhikshu sitting below
Bodhi tree wonders
Who Buddha is?
__
In the shadow of Bodhi Tree
Young Buddha smiles
What life is?
__
Bodhi tree
Sad and alone
Needs another Buddha to enlighten
__
Tree knows
So do the falling leaves
Times does not know, it has come
__
Life sometimes
Is lived
Sometimes wasted on living
__
Anchored in Karma
Chained to past
Living is: trying to break free

| This is a mural on the walls of Buddhist temple in Sarnath Varanasi Here Buddha gave his first sermon |
Soul is beautiful; lotus in the pond
Scentless, detached;
Yet flowering, in soft colours of living
__
We have lived and died
On the banks of eternal river
Of various lives
__
Between the two mirrors
Of life and living
I reflect, eternally
__
Anchored in ocean of life
A red little boat
Waits
__
ॐ नमः शिवाय
Om Namah Shivaya
