Man as tree and tree be Man

I discovered this picture at The Secret Teachings of All Age by Manly P.Hall. I like it very much. In many human culture and scriptures, trees often were use to symbolize Man, Jesus said: “I am the vine and you are my branches.” Just like Man, you seek the whole world but cannot find two identical Man, it would be a waste.

Chinese Proverb: “十年树木，百年树人。”

If I have a choice, I rather be a Durian tree.

Gujarat finally passes the controversial anti-conversion bill

The bill is now passed and clarifies. In Gujarat state, if you convert from Hindu to Christian, the district magistrate can step in if they consider it a force conversion, but, if it is from Hindu to Buddhist, the state will not and cannot intervene. Under the bill, Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism are under the same “category”.

So, India just united the three religions into one, one can now be a Buddhist today, Hindu tomorrow and Jain the day after. Does it mean I have 3 choices of Heaven after I died? (chuckle)
