#### Buddha Dust

Bits and scraps, crumbs, fine
Particles that drift down to
Walkers of The Walk.
Then: Thanks for that, Far-Seer!
Great 'Getter-of-the-Get'n!

Special Thanks should be given to Alex Genaud for his long-time generous hosting of this material on his site. To this must now be added my gratitude for the work he has done on the reorganization of the Pali-English Dictionary. What he has done enabled the English language sorting of terms thus making it accessible to thousands of people world-wide. It could not have been done witout his work.

The poem "BuddhaDust" that heads this page is in the form of the antecedent to the Haiku called a "Tanka". The Tanka is constructed using five lines with 5,7,5,7, and 7 syllables respectively. The Tanka was originally conceived as a way to praise the Awakened and at one point it took the form of a dialog between poets who linked responses in a form called the Renga. You Awakeners out there inspired to praise Gotama are invited to revive this tradition. We have set up a Renga section in the Forum.
