Smokey the Bear Sutra

Smokey the Bear Sutra is really interesting and different one I read. Gary Snyder uses a very different way to express the nature, to emphasize consciousness of environment protection. He uses principle of Buddha to see the nature, just like the first paragraph delivers that all the things are beings even grasses. In his Smokey the Bear Sutra, Smokey the Bear is avatar of the Great Sun Buddha to be a warrior to protect the nature environment. And everything related to Smoky the Bear, like his hat, trousers, have a specific symbolic. This is a way to warn people pay more attention to the problem exists in our nature. Buddha is very popular in China, I know that the original idea about nature addressed by Buddha is grasses and woods are beings. Buddha is like philosophy, it gives us a new way to see the world, to understand all the things. Buddha is pretty amazing to discover.
