On this first Monday of June, I thought a special card pull would be lovely. OFFERING INCENSE Present Moment Wonderful Moment --Thich Nhat Hanah In gratitude, we offer this incense to all buddhas and bodhisattvas throughout space and time. May it be fragrant as Earth herself, reflecting our wholehearted awareness, and the fruit of understanding, slowly ripening. In Vietnamese Zen temples, we say this gatha silently as we offer incense alone, or aloud when we conduct ceremonies with others. As we say it, we imagine fragrant smoke rising in the air, becoming a cloud of five colors. This represents the offering to all Buddhas throughout space and time, of the 5-fold fragrance: precepts, concentration, understanding, liberation, and insight. We call it the "fragrance of the heart," a delight that is available to us every day. Although not for sale in stores. #thichnhathanh #presentday #presentmoment #offeringincense
