Stories of Past Lives 77

The Book of the Ones

The Warding Tree

Sixteen Great Dreams: a past life story

“Bulls; trees; cows; oxen;

horse; bronze goblet; she-jackal; water-pot;

lotus pond; uncookable rice; sandalwood;

pumpkins sink; stones float;

frogs swallow black snakes;

golden swans surround a crow;

the wolf trembles for fear of the sheep.”

No perversion of reality is happening here for me.
