Gary Snyder the poet...later emerged in history as Japhy Ryder -- the Buddhist-beatnik hero of Kerouac's Dharma Bums -- in a characterization which hardly begins to do him justice.

For Gary is tougher, more disciplined, and more physically competent than I, but he embodies these virtues without rubbing them in, and I can only say that a universe which has manifested Gary Snyder could never be called a failure. from In My Own Way by Alan Watts (1915-1973) SMOKEY THE BEAR SUTRA BY GARY SNYDER Once in the Jurassic about 150 million years ago, the Great Sun Buddha in this corner of the Infinite Void gave a great Discourse to all the assembled elements and energies: to the standing beings, the walking beings, the flying beings, and the sitting beings--even the grasses, to the number of thirteen billion, each one born from a seed--assembled there: a Discourse concerning Enlightenment on the planet Earth. "In some future time, there will be a continent called America. The human race in that era will get into troubles all over its head, and practically wreck everything in spite of its own strong intelligent Buddha-nature. In that future American Era I shall enter a new form, to cure the world of loveless knowledge that seeks with blind hunger, and mindless rage eating food that will not fill it." And he showed himself in his true form of SMOKEY THE BEAR. A handsome smokey-colored brown bear standing on his hind legs, showing that he is aroused and watchful. Bearing in his right paw the Shovel that digs to the truth beneath appearances, cuts the roots of useless attachments, and flings damp sand on the fires of greed and war; His left paw in the Mudra of Comradely Display--indicating that all creatures have the full right to live to their limits and that deer, rabbits, chipmunks, snakes, dandelions, and lizards all grow in the realm of the Dharma; With a halo of smoke and flame behind, the forest fires of the kali yuga, fires caused by the stupidity of those who think things can be gained and lost whereas in truth all is contained vast and free in the Blue Sky and Green Earth of One Mind; Round-bellied to show his kind nature and that the great Earth has food enough for everyone who loves her and trusts her; Wrathful but Calm, Austere but Comic, Smokey the Bear will Illuminate those who would help him; but for those who would hinder or slander him, HE WILL PUT THEM OUT. And SMOKEY THE BEAR will surely appear to put the enemy out with his vajra shovel. Now those who recite this Sutra and then try to put it in practice will accumulate merit as countless as the sands of Arizona and Nevada. Will help save the planet Earth from total oil slick. Will enter the age of harmony of man and nature. Will win the tender love and caresses of men, women, and beasts. Will always have ripe blackberries to eat and a sunny spot under a pine tree to sit at. AND IN THE END WILL WIN HIGHEST PERFECT ENLIGHTENMENT Thus we have heard. (may be reproduced free forever) The above is an abridged version of the Smokey the Bear Sutra. To read the full text click here -->Smokey the Bear Sutra Vajra - thunderbolt, or diamond. Strong determination or willpower -- adamantine hardness. Purity, clarity, clear insight and strength. Invincible, indestructible. Mudra - A symbolic hand gesture -- paw gesture in this case. Dharma - Broadly defined as the way of righteousness or "that which holds one's true nature." The fulfillment of an inherent nature or destiny. Kali Yuga - An era or age of the world of which there are four: Satya Yuga, (the golden age); Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, and finally Kali Yuga, (the dark age -- which we are currently muddling our way through). The Yuga's repeat themselves in an endless cycle. Some people believe that the Kali Yuga will continue for many more years; others believe we are in the process of leaving the Kali Yuga, and entering the Dwapara Yuga (a much more benign era or age). Regardless, as Ramana Maharishi (1879-1950) said, "A wise person lives in Satya Yuga all of the time." In other words -- any Yuga can be a "golden age" for you.

The more you think about your grievances or the injustices that you have suffered, the more such trials will you continue to receive; and the more you think of the good fortune you have had, the more good fortune will come to you.This is the basic, fundamental, all-inclusive Law of Mind, and actually all psychological and metaphysical teaching is little more than a commentary upon this.
