The winds blow again everywhere in the four quarters, and scatter down fresh flowers as before.

Excerpt

Then that Buddha country is again clean, pleasant, beautiful, and without fading flowers. The winds blow again everywhere in the four quarters, and scatter down fresh flowers as before. And as it is in the forenoon, so it is at noon, at twilight, in the first, middle, and last watch of the night. And the beings, if touched by those winds which blow perfume with various scents, are as full of happiness as a Bhikshu who has obtained Nirvana.

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Larger Sukhâvatî-vyûha, the sutra that describes the Pure Land of the Buddha Amitâbha, perfumed winds constantly renew the flowers, at every hour of the day and night, and fill all those they touch with happiness, as much as a Bhikshu, a monk, who has obtained Nirvana. Today, step outside for a few moments to breathe the air, feel the wind on your face and let it renew you like a rain of fresh flowers.
