I take refuge in Buddha Dhammam saranam gacchami I go to the

Dhamma for refuge Sangham saranam gacchami I go to the Sangha for refuge........ The Buddha
was born under a tree. The Buddha was Enlightened under a Bodhi tree. The Buddha was grateful
to the Bodhi tree that sheltered Him before His Enlightenment. It is said that He gazed at it in
gratitude for seven days. The Buddha taught in the shelter of trees and groves. The Buddha passed
into Parinirvana between two trees. We see that the Buddha was one with nature and saw the
importance of its relationship with us all. Respect nature. We belong to nature. Nature does not
belong to us. Destroy nature and we destroy ourselves, for we are nature....
