The Symbolic Significance of a 70th Birthday for the Buddha Wallah
www.christophertitmussdharma.org
April 22 (Earth Day), 2014 marked my transition from aged 69 to 70, as if a number has any strategic bearing upon the unfoldment of nature. Yet, despite its irrelevance, the growing Sangha of Dharma practitioners took it upon themselves to remind this Buddha Wallah* that my birthday provided a reason, or perhaps an excuse, to express friendship and love to myself plus exceptional generosity. These gifts of money included fund raising projects for the beloved Prajna Vihar School in Bodh Gaya, school, India that had its first spark with my morning class for the poorest children in the village some 25 years ago. Friends also gave money for reforestation in Tiruvannamalai and Himachel Pradesh, India and support for farmers and families in the open prison of the Palestinian community. The Buddha Wallah also found himself the beneficiary of wonderful financial donations plus books, DVDs, CDS and various other gifts.
