These are two ‘Carbon Sadhanas’ (meditation visualisations) I wrote a couple of years ago, around the time of the first Order Convention at Bodh Gaya in India, in fact. I hope they might help Buddhists connect a bit more imaginatively with the consequences of their actions if they choose to drive or fly. As Bhante says, “The central problem of the spiritual life - for most people at least – is to find emotional equivalents for their intellectual understanding”. So far as I know the figures are accurate.

Hope you enjoy spotting the references to more classic sadhanas and other visualisations from the Sutras - the 'flying' sadhana references the classic form of a Sadhana practice, with everything appearing from the blue sky; the 'driving' sadhana references the Amitayur Dhyana sutra of Buddhism's Pure Land school.
