"The Plant Medicine Sutra"

“The Plant Medicine Sutra”


One cool evening as the Buddha slept in the jungle he was awaken to find himself surrounded by encroaching vines, branches, flowers and roots; The essence of the botanical world, all requesting his teaching and knowledge to illuminate their minds.

The Buddha spoke- “No, it is you, not I, who should speak. It is your voice which needs to teach humanity about the vast web of life, consciousness and awareness that is the birthright of us all. Your sap, your juices, your fibers, your voice. We ask that you transmit your knowledge through our species. Speak in way that is unmistakable, unclouded by words and language; un-obscured by the intellect we have come to value so highly. Speak to us if our interconnectedness, teach use how to rejoice in love, show us the way to our primal essence, our true nature. Teach us to respect the natural world- trees, grasses, animals, insects, rocks, winds, mists, clouds, stars, spirits, and other realms of existence. We have lost of connection with plants, with the Earth, with Tao. We carry on recklessly, unaware of the web you sustain. It is from you that I learned of the intelligence of nature. It is you who came forth and affirmed my nature when on that perilous night, I touched the Earth and called out to you. It was your wisdom and grace raining down from the spreading, unfolding branches of the bodhi tree that sustained my enlightenment; It was you, as the early morning star affirmed my nature and the nature of everything, all beings, just as they are, whole and complete, lacking nothing, soaked in compassion. I kneel before you and ask for your teachings.”




Adapted from "Zig-Zag Zen".

I read it before I trip...

Does anybody have anything they always do before they trip?

Certain preparations are kind of part of the trip (the fasting, brewing, and any other thing adjuvent to Ayahuasca rituals, or the extraction invloved in mescaline cacti); however when dealing with set it and forget chemicals (Salvia, LSD, Shrooms) any sort of preparation beyond what time-ish I'm going to take them, and how much.
Any further preparedness in my experiences kind of goes against the grain of what I'M trying to achieve with psychedelics.

A way I could contextualize this better, perhaps, is relating Tripping to plot vs. story. I only plot as far as "there is going to be a story!" When planing out a trip too much, you fill it with plot, and if the story doesn't wrap around the plot nicely, "unpreferable" trips can occur (unless you prefer unpreferable trips, well then that is a paradox I'd love to talk about)

So I guess I prepare myself by being ready for where the story of the Trip will take me, may ir be good or bad, it is all part of the story; not some fallible parameters I have set for myself. Anything less, (for me) would be uncivilised)
