From R.H. Blyth:
“The important but usually overlooked part of Christ’s short sermon, is the words ‘how they grow.’ The point is not the beauty of the flower, not the beauty of a Bach fugue but, how it grows. How does it grow? Neither Christ nor Buddha nor Bach attempted the task of explaining how it grows, for by its nature this is for all eternity and in all worlds to come, impossible. Buddha simply held up the flower, Christ held up the flower, merely adding the words, ‘Look at it!'”

I never thought of it this way. Definitely worth considering from this different point of view.

There are so many who fail to see the universal message and integral similarity between the teachings of the Buddha and those of Christ. Nirvana is just another term for the Kingdom of God is at hand, for those who understand deeply.
