INFINITE UMBILICALS



Mother Earth has infinite

umbilical cords.

Everyone of them

was revered

by Lord

Mahavir



JAIN HEART



No matter who came

into their restaurant

.. even Calamity Jane

.. they gave her

samosas and cheer

and Kali Amity, these

Jains



(to the Pondas who hosted

the first public PETA

meeting)



LORD MAHAVIR'S DISCIPLES PROTECT ALL





.. The Buddha said that if the monk who was bitten by the snake had been kind to the 4 royal families of snakes he would still have been bitten but not have died.



Job 26: 13 By his spirit he hath garnished

the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.



The Saint of

Shirdi: Never harm a snake or a scorpion. He will only harm you if

ordered to do so by God. If so ordered there is nothing you can do

about it.





These are Lord Shiva's messages to Christians and Jews,

Buddhists and Hindus. Jains need to be reminded the least.



STELLIUM OF TRILLIUM



In the deep woods..

one came upon sacred ground

where grew a silent shrine:

a stellium of trillium





where trilliums were concerned

my father was a Jain

.. he would not pluck them

for he knew it would mean

their death
