Chapter 14 The Jewelled Trees That Grow Pervasivley In The Buddhaland
There are many jewelled trees on the Land of The Thus Come One. Some trees are formed purely from pure gold, others are silverish white in colour. There are also trees made from lapis lazuli, crystals, red emeralds, beautiful jades and carnelian. These trees consist of only one type of gem, with no mixutes of other gems. And also there are trees which are formed from a combination of two or three types of gems, until there are those trees of seven gems. These gems will combine differently to form a tree. One type of gem will form the roots, stems, branches and trunks while another type of gem will be transformed into the flowers, leaves, fruits and seeds. Or there are the jewelled trees which are the combination of golden roots, silverish white trunks, lapis lazuli branches and crystal like small branches with red emerald as leaves, beautiful jade as flowers and carnelian as fruits. All the other trees also consits of the seven gems. Each of the gems take turns to form the roots, trunks, branches, leaves, flowers and fruits. These gems will combine to form different patterns. Every tree has different patterns and formation and are well placed in rows. Their stems face each other directly, the branches and leaves also face each other in the correct position. The flowers and fruits are grown in abundance, with colourful lights that shine brilliantly till no one could completely see their beauty. Continuously the wind blows and the trees will sing naturally in the five sounds, with subtle tune and tone that combine harmoniously and naturally. Jewelled trees like these grow pervasively in that Land.
