The tree of life is a fundamental archetype in many of the world’s mythological, religious, and philosophical traditions. It is closely related to the concept of the sacred tree. The concept of the tree of life may have originated in Central Asia, and absorbed by other cultures, such Scandinavian mythology and Altai shamanism. The tree of knowledge, connecting to heaven and the underworld, and the tree of life, connecting all forms of creation, are both forms of the world tree or cosmic tree. /wiki/
To inner peace ⋅ མྱ་ངན་ལས་འདས་པ།
»I commit myself to living the peace I want for the world.
Peace cannot be decreed or imposed by external constraints,
but arises at the source of my inner humanity. It ripens in
my heart as the fruit of compassion.
I commit to letting the peace within me grow and emanate.
I am aware that every step I take towards peace brings all
of humanity closer to peace.«
Dalai Lama, Stril-Rever, Rinpoche, Thurman and Itzkin
(15. September 2015, Oxford)
