Rubble into Gold

"Rubble into Gold" seems magical, alchemical.  But, I'm not promoting or controlling the process.  If I were involved it would be "Rubble into Rubble."  The transformation of Rubble into Gold is only possible through the working and power of Amida Buddha.  In a broader context of interfaith dialogue, I think you could call this "Truth Power."  Of course, in interfaith dialogue, using such a broad word as "Truth" raises the issue as to whether all religions would agree on what is Truth.  The wonderful thing about Buddhism is that it doesn't get stuck on words.  "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."  Dharma by any other name?
