Bo tree

Often there is a Bodhi tree in the grounds of Thai temples.
usually they are wrapped with light scarves or lengths
of coloured nets, as veneration for the symbol & it's age.
Some people leave painted sticks, which I was told have
something to do with the donor's wishes for a long life.
The leaves are their own fresh heart-shaped statement.

Long ago, in Bodh Gaya , I saw Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
seated beneath the Bo tree. I gazed for a long time;
& still really love his Dzogchen teachings.
Well worth a look: the sanskriti foundation
