| Siddhartha calling (vam.ac.uk) |
BODH GAYA, India - When Siddhartha was striving to discover the path to enlightenment and final liberation, a killer came to him and told him to move: "The place you're sitting in meditation belongs to me," that killer said. "Who or what gives you the right to sit there?" Siddhartha reached out his right hand and called on the Earth to witness (Bhūmiśparṣa mudrā) for his right to pursue enlightenment in a forest grove under the tree of wisdom. The Earth shook. And the ogres, confused, ran away.
"You're gone, gone, gone away. I watched you disappear. All that's left
is a ghost of you. Now we're torn, torn, torn apart. There's nothing we
can do. Just let me go; we'll meet again soon. Now wait, wait, wait for
me. Please hang around. I'll see you when I fall asleep. Hey! Don't
listen to a word I say. Hey! The screams all sound the same. Hey! Though
the truth may vary, this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore..." More Invitation to the Devas

May they listen to the true teaching of the supreme sage,
Which leads to higher-births and nirvana.
Those on planes of sensuality or fine-form,
On mountain peaks and precipices, in palaces floating in space,
On islands, in countries, and towns,
In groves of trees and thickets, around homes and fields.

| Earthbound "angels" (Boticelli's Venus) |
In water, on the ground, in the wilderness, and nearby:
May they come and listen approvingly
As I recite the word of the excellent sage.
This is the time to listen to the Dharma, venerable ones.
This is the time to listen to the Dharma, venerable ones.

| Asian conception of the beautiful angelic beings from space (tribudragonthai) |
Do not look long, do not look short.
In the seen, let there be only the seen
In the heard, only the heard
In the otherwise sensed, only the otherwise sensed.
When for you there is just this,
there will be neither here, nor there,
nor going from one to the other.
-The Buddha said to Bahiya of the Bark Cloth (Fast Enlightenment)
