Indian tree can save the world (again)
![]() |
| Trees are conscious. I just know it. |
![]() |
| Then Sujata saved the Bodhisattva with food. |
![]() |
| Dryads are spirits in trees. |
Though purists in the tradition say the Bodhisattva, living on his own in the forest by his own rules or those generally adhered to by independent wandering ascetics, was fasting all that time, and no one seems to know how long from the time the Bodhisattva left the lifesaving donor Sujata and her maid, who nursed him back to health from his previous extreme fasting.
- Plants are too incredible: There's a tree that walks?! It's known as the "Walking Palm" (Socratea exorrhiza and Socratea exorrhiza) of Central and South America. Where is it going as it moves 20 feet per year?
With Bodhi trees everywhere in the world now, most of them directly related to that very tree, Bo, the oldest documented tree in the world, now living on the Buddhist and Hindu island of Sri Lanka, most Buddhists never seem to think to eat the fruit. It falls to the ground and is squashed underfoot during sacred circumambulations or disregarded. Asking Theravada Buddhist monks about it, they laughed off the question. A little research revealed that in India the sacred fig is regarded as a famine food so is not usually eaten, probably due to its small size. But what an idea -- Buddhist Fig Newtons with gluten free crust. They're delicious and easy to collect, more easily with a net to catch them as they fall before the ants find them.
India is amazing for its trees. At least three should be sacred to Buddhists, more sacred than all tree already are. They are the sacred fig, the sal tree (which helped the Buddha a great deal, first sheltering him until Sujata found him and gave him her dana or charity and the twin sals the Buddha chose for his final nirvana), and sandalwood which provides incense around the world and is nearly being brought to extinction because of its healing scent.Everywhere in India there is a healing tree, the "village pharmacy" known as the neem tree (as valuable a medicine as the moringa or drumstick tree is nutritious). But even more valuable might be the incredible coconut tree, a source of food, fiber, fuel, oil, sugar, pure water, so valuable that in ancient times to cut one down was considered tantamount to killing a person.

This tree is incredible for its potential as a biofuel, being 30% oil (in the bean it produces), and nutrient dense due to its high protein content (65% to 70% high quality protein). It is a plant-based oil and a food, a plant that restores oxygen to the environment as well as providing sustenance to bees, the soil, microorganisms like the mycorrhizae (fungi, mycelia) in the ground, and all the other benefit trees provide this world.

Science: alien-like fossil, trees in space
.
Researchers discover fossils of alien-like tree with 6-ft. leaves extremely well-preserved due to earthquake 350 million years ago
![]() |
| Sanfordiacaulis densifolia (Wikipedia) |
In New Brunswick, Canada, researchers discovered fossils of a prehistoric tree from the Early Carboniferous period. Evidence of the alien-like tree was first unearthed in a quarry in 2017.
Over the years, four more fossils were found. The tree was named Sanfordiacaulis densifolia. One of the specimens was so well-preserved that scientists were able to construct a three-dimensional model of what the tree once looked like.
Sanfordiacaulis densifolia had a long, spindly, narrow trunk and a crown of leaves that may have measured 18 feet in diameter. Its branches likely extended outward to intertwine with nearby trees so it could stay upright.
It grew underneath a bunch of taller trees, so it had to stretch wider to receive sunlight. “When my co-authors and I began to reconstruct the tree based on the specimens collected in Sanford Quarry, the only analog we could think of was an oversized toilet or bottle brush,” Robert Gastaldo, the lead author of the study, said.

Its appearance resembles a fern or palm tree, although the oldest tree fern fossil is younger, and palm trees wouldn’t show up in the fossil record for another 240 million years. More

SUTRA: Part 5: At Kusinara
Translated by Sister Vajira and Francis Story (DN 16), edited by Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly
.
1. Then the Buddha said, "Come, Ananda, let us cross to the farther shore of the HiraΓ±Γ±avati and go to the Mallas' Sal Tree Grove, near the town of Kusinara [modern Kushinagar, India, near the border of Nepal]." - "So be it, venerable sir."2. And the Buddha, together with a large company of wandering ascetics, went to the farther shore of the river HiraΓ±Γ±avati, to the Sal Tree Grove of the Malla people near Kusinara. There he spoke to Ven. Ananda.
3. "Ananda, please prepare for me a couch between the twin sal trees with the head pointing north. I am weary, Ananda, and wish to lie down" [41]. "So be it, venerable sir." And Ananda did as the Blessed One asked. Then the Buddha reclined on his right side, in the lion's pose, resting one foot on the other, and rested mindfully and with clear comprehension.
4. The twin sal trees spontaneously burst into full bloom even out of season. The blossoms rained down on the body of the Buddha, showering him with petals. And celestial mandarava flowers and heavenly sandalwood tree powder from the sky (space, akasha) rained down on the body of the Buddha, showering him. And the sound of heavenly voices and heavenly instruments made music in the air in reverence.5. The Buddha said, "Ananda, these twin sal trees are in full bloom even though this is not the flowering season. And blossoms down on the body of the Tathagata [the Wayfarer, the Buddha] and drop and scatter and are strewn upon this body in reverence. And celestial coral tree flowers and heavenly sandalwood tree powder from the sky rain down on this body and drop and scatter and are strewn upon it in reverence. And the sound of heavenly voices and heavenly instruments fill the air with music out of reverence for the Tathagata.
6. "But, Ananda, it is not in this way that the Tathagata (the Buddha) is revered, respected, venerated, esteemed, and honored in the highest degree. Rather, Ananda, whatever male of female monastic, whatever layman or laywoman abides by the Dharma (Teaching), lives upright in the Dharma, walks in the way of the Dharma, it is by such a person that the Tathagata is revered, respected, venerated, esteemed, and honored in the highest degree. Therefore, Ananda, train yourselves: 'We shall abide by the Dharma, live upright in the Dharma, walk in the way of the Dharma.'"
The Grief of the Devas (Space Beings)
7. At that time Ven. Upavana was standing in front of the Buddha, fanning him. The Buddha rebuked him, saying: "Move aside, monk, rather than standing in front of me."8. Ven. Ananda thought: "Ven. Upavana has attended on the Blessed One for a long time, closely associating with him and serving him. Yet now, right at the end, the Blessed One rebukes him. What could be the reason, the cause for the Blessed One to rebuke Ven. Upavana, 'Move aside, monk, rather than standing in front of me.'"
9-10. Ven. Ananda asked, and the Buddha answered, "Throughout this tenfold world-system, Ananda, there are hardly any of the devas (space beings) who have not gathered together to look at the Wayfarer. For a distance of 12 yojanas (approximately 84 miles) around the Sal Tree Grove of the Mallas in the vicinity of Kusinara there is not a spot that could be pricked with the tip of a hair that is not filled with powerful devas.
These devas, Ananda, are complaining: 'From afar have we come to look upon the Wayfarer. For rare in the world is the arising of wayfarers, arhats, fully enlightened ones. And this day, in the last watch of the night, the Wayfarer's final nirvana will come about. But this monk of great power has placed himself right in front of the Blessed One, concealing him, so that now, at the very end, we are prevented from looking upon him.' In this way, Ananda, the devas complain."
11. "Of what kind of devas (space beings), venerable sir, is the Blessed One aware?"
12-13. "There are devas, Ananda, in space and on earth, who are earthly-minded; with disheveled hair and uplifted arms they weep; flinging themselves to the ground, they roll from side to side, lamenting: 'Too soon has the Blessed One come to his final nirvana! Too soon has the Happy One come to his final nirvana! Too soon will the Eye of the World vanish from sight!'
14. "But those devas who are free from passion, mindful and clearly comprehending, reflect in this way: 'Impermanent are all compounded things, so how could this [the Buddha release] be otherwise?'" More

California has only ONE native palm tree
Christopher Nyerges, pasadenaweekly.com, 9/28/23; Dhr. Seven (ed.), Wisdom Quarterly
California has only one "native" palm, yet many outsiders and locals believe that California is "The Land of Palms."
Palms often grow where there is water, in desert oases, which is why there often came to be village sites at such locations.
Worldwide there are about 3,000 species of palm trees. They are very conspicuous trees throughout California, widely planted as a street and park tree.

The non-native palms are everywhere — along the coast, along the boulevards, in the movies, in front yards — but most are brought in from somewhere else [like Hawaii] to give California a distinctive look, even if it’s a look that belongs to some other place.
Non-native palms are high-maintenance trees, which are hard to keep small and pruned. Next to eucalyptus trees (also non-native), deaths by tree-pruners are high with palms.
Regardless of species, palms can be hazardous though they have many valuable traits.
Let’s look at some of the value of the native palm, particularly to Indigenous peoples (Kizh, Tongva, Chumash, Tataviam, etc.) of the past.
Ever heard of Palm Springs, home of the gay and curious, players and gamblers, rich and famous?
Palms Springs got its name from the many native palms that grow in and around that area, particularly at Native village sites, such as Palm Canyon.

| Is this the Los Angeles Palm? No. |
Most people may think bright dates when they think of palms [no, we think of precious coconuts]. There are plenty of commercial date palms grown in the California desert, all originating from the Middle East.
But the fruit of the native palm is a small and black like a marble. Ripe fruit can be picked up on the ground to consume.
Chew the flesh off the hard stone (seed). The flesh is mildly sweet. Native people had several ways to eat these black fruits, and many still do so today.
One method is to grind the entire fruit — seed and flesh — into a flour and use that flour to make bread, biscuits, or pudding. The fruits can also be gently ground so that only the flesh comes off. That flesh is then used as a sweetening agent for other foods.
Another method is to boil the entire fruit, which yields a mildly sweet water. That water can be used as a beverage or used to sweeten other foods.
Botany

Typically, they have a large trunk, fat or thin, rising as tall as a five-story building. The fronds are either palmately or pinnately lobed.
The palmate leaves are formed on a stem, the fan palms. The leaves can also form as pinnately lobed leaves or feather fronds.
The fruits are usually drupes and are generally called dates. The common date palm has sweet fruit and two-lobed seeds. The fruit of the native is black and round-to-ovate, which comes from the native California palm (Washingoni filifera).
The "native" California palm was very useful but is now rarely seen, whereas the Golden State’s most iconic palms are from somewhere else. More
