Poetic Thoughts - The Sangha - by C.W. Pruitt II
posted: Jan. 21, 2021

Poetic Thoughts header

The Sangha

Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hahn writes of the sangha (the community) in flowery language. The two poems below were inspired by the books of Thich Nhat Hahn. I would like to dedicate them to the sangha of Broad Ripple Village.

that within
that without
a quiet interior
brings forth
a peaceful exterior
the peaceful exterior
emits a loving vibe
in which the sangha
may imbibe

the sangha benefits from
fragrant aroma
oozing forth invisibly
from so many
beautiful flowers
