A Perspetiva da Floresta
Frequentemente quando estou em contacto com os ensinamentos Dzogchen, sinto uma estranha sensação de ouvir os ecos e ver as imagens dos meus próprios mestres, Ajaan Chah e Ajaan Sumedho. Não só pela maneira como esses ensinamentos descrevem princípios com os quais estou familiarizado, mas até pelo uso das mesmas analogias e frases. Quando essa semelhança surgiu na minha cabeça pela primeira vez, eu me dei conta de que estava praticando de um modo parecido ao Dzogchen durante pelo menos a última metade da minha vida monástica, desde aproximadamente 1987. Se tivesse sobrancelhas, eu as teria erguido um pouco.
Le Pèlerinage de Kamanita
Le Pèlerinage de Kamanita fut publié en 1906 en langue allemande. Son auteur, Karl Gjellerup, né au Danemark en 1857, partagea sa vie entre Copenhague au Danemark et Dresde en Allemagne. Deux ans avant sa mort en 1919, il reçut le Prix Nobel de Littérature.
Dans Le Pèlerinage de Kamanita, l’auteur s’est inspiré de nombreux passages des écritures bouddhiques relatant les faits et gestes du prince Gautama. Il est resté très fidèle aux textes, particulièrement en ce qui concerne les enseignements du Bouddha et les traits de caractère de certains personnages secondaires du roman, comme les proches disciples du Bouddha et Angulimala.
La présente traduction française est basée sur l’édition anglaise publiée en 1999 par Amaro Bhikkhu du Abhayagiri Forest Monastery en Californie : The Pilgrim Kamanita, a Legendary Romance.
