Monges, monges e mais monges
Namaste, meus amigos!
Em Bodh Gaya estou tendo a oportunidade linda de trabalhar como voluntaria na setima edicao do International Tipitaka Chanting Council - cerimonia que reune mais de 1.000 monges Theravada de nove paises: Nepal, Laos, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Tailandia e Sri Lanka.
O evento eh organizado pela Light of Buddhadharma Foundation International, uma das entidades dirigidas pelo lama tibetano Tarthang Tulku. Ja estou ha oito dias por aqui e permaneco ateh 12 de dezembro, quando sigo para o Nepal. Comeco a me despedir dos indianos, um tanto quanto alegre em partir.

Quem diria, meditando neste momento em Bodh Gaya! Este ano comemora-se 2600 anos da Iluminacao de Buddha Shakyamuni. Exploro o que eh sagrado dentro e fora de mim.
"Interpretation, even more than information, tell us what a thing is. This is certainly the case with religion. No facts, no data, will settle the matter of what it signifies. Religion is a result of perspective, and can be viewed from endless and opposite angles. Is it the great truth or is it the great illusion? It can be regarded with appreciation from within or with hostility from without. Through whose eyes, through what glasses, shall we see it? From what location? And if religious insiders have conflicting views, so do outsiders. Each approach seems to take its horizon as self-sufficient and appears to inhabit a universe of its own..."

Thought of the day
"Not tomorrow, not later, not yesterday when you were feeling better - but now. Start now, just as you are." Pema Chodron
Compartilho fotos incríveis de Bodh Gaya, na Índia, tiradas pelo meu futuro amigo Rajeev Agrawal. Espero escrever muito ainda sobre esse lugar que tanto me inspira ;)
