Today I am writing my entry in Carpe Diem early. I have very limited knowledge about Buddha and Buddhism, but I make a try. I thought I’d pick an inkwash painting of bamboo, that look very zen-like to me. And I think you can meditate yourself to inner peace.
single bamboo leaf
watch it move in eastern breeze
Buddha talks to you

bamboo by the pond
watch it change at daybreak
Buddha shows himself

slender bamboo staff
pointing at the winter cloud
with your inner peace

I love your haiku. Very peaceful and lovely.
For me, Buddha has always been more of a head-knocker than a leaf-fluttering type.
bamboo in the sun
walking meditation right
then trip and fall flat
Alice, my dear, you are hilarious!!!:)
Thanks kz. Buddha a funny guy.
This really happened to me. Not so funny then. ;-(
Only funny later;-)
Many years later;-))
Brilliant 🙂
Bjorn. Thanks sweetie. Yours are so thoroughly haiku. Inspiring.

Beautiful … I love the way you wrote this !!!
Really nice -and clever juxtaposing Buddha to nature in this way. 2nd one really, really a moment of meditation.
Love how you have found the essence of Buddha in a feature of Nature! Beautiful!

I like the pointing of the bamboo staff as a way to inner peace.
Buddha in the Shadows
You have gone really Zen with these ones. Beautifully crafted, Björn.
Beautifully done.
They seem quite classical

Wow, these are so meditative , kind of took me down the Buddha path this morning especially the bit about the staff pointing the way to the winter cloud! I really enjoyed that(wasn’t that yesterday’s prompt?)
I, too, have only an overview knowledge of Buddhism…I don’t yet understand the myriad transformations…you have produced 2 zen-like haiku
Very nice series on Buddha Bjorn. I am caught by that second haiku. Such a strong spiritual haiku could have been written by a master … as you are my friend …
Namaste.
Thank you dear friend 🙂
I think you know more about Buddhism than you think.
Awesome set. You’ve captured the essence of Buddha in such a beautiful way 🙂 I loved them all.
Fresh approach to Buddha… I love it… 🙂 The peace not got me too. Eliz
