The Bodhi tree has a trunk so big that three people cannot embrace it. It is rough and rugged with strong, bulging muscles to prove that it is over two thousand years old. In addition, the roots are tangled and entangled, hanging down from the top like the roots of a banyan tree, making us feel more fragile, small, and weak the more we look at it.

The older the tree, the more sacred it is. The bigger the tree, the more sacred it is. Dark brown, black and red colors blend together, highlighting the Bodhi tree trunk on a pale background with a green river flowing silently through the green bushes in a quiet, peaceful area...

That is the Bodhi tree where Buddha sat to attain enlightenment.

And that is the Bodhi tree that I chose to enlarge on a simili background, with a size of 1.5x1.5m, then hang behind the statue of Buddha Shakyamuni "smiling with a flower" that Venerable Thich Thong Hue, a lecturer and teacher of the Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen sect, had given to the family to worship ten years ago.

With a period of ten years, not too long, but not short either, the Bodhi tree has always been present behind the Buddha statue placed on the altar of the private room, in the cramped, rickety wooden attic, brightening up the statue, and adding to the solemn and solemn appearance of the pure realm. so that every day and every night the deluded and deluded children can return to worship, offer incense and flowers, recite sutras and mantras, develop the Bodhi mind and vow to stop evil and cultivate good, serve the Dharma...

So then, I moved to a new house. When cleaning the house, because I had planned in advance that the Buddhist altar in the new house would wait for favorable conditions to build a grand bas-relief on the wall behind the Buddha statue, I was very hesitant before the simili Bodhi tree backdrop. After removing it, looking at it, I still felt pity, appreciation, regret, and "fear of committing a sin" if I threw it away with the miscellaneous things that had expired. So, when moving the furniture onto the car, the Bodhi tree backdrop was also kept, and moved to a new place of residence, not knowing what to do with it, just bringing it along to ease the mind's guilt.

At the beginning of the new house, because it was not allowed to be hung up again, the backdrop was brought to the rooftop, also for a whole month in the sun and rain, not knowing where it would go, where it would return...

And then, when the worker came to install a booster pump to pump water to the tank on the rooftop, located in the small corner of the yard on the left side of the house, under the iron fence, exposed to the sun and rain. The worker suggested that the homeowner cover the fence with a large transparent mica sheet, so that the sun and rain would not damage the booster pump.

At that moment, I immediately thought of the simili Bodhi tree backdrop. I climbed the ladder to the top floor, tied a rope, let it down for my son on the lower floor to catch, invited him solemnly and properly, then the two of us hung the backdrop together, tied it securely with wire, in the right position to protect the booster.

After hanging it, I stood and watched with a peaceful and cheerful heart, and was very happy that the Bodhi tree still cast a shade over a corner of the yard, not only protecting the booster, but also reducing the sun and rain for whoever sat there doing the cleaning work at the faucet at the source pipe...

Like a painting. Still beautiful, and majestic.
