"Eseri. Gozatu zure bizitzaz."
Thich Nhat Hanh Zen irakasle handiak ederki idatzi du zergatik besteak maitatzen ikastea geure burua maitatzen ikastearekin hasten den — sentimendu hori, ziniko moderno erreaktiboak autolaguntza liburuen bazka huts gisa baztertuko lukeena, baina hausnarketa sakonago batek oso egiazkoa eta oso deserosoa dela agerian uzten duena. Azken finean, zer esan nahi du norbera maitatzeak — batez ere altruistak eta eskuzabalak izan nahi badugu, eta ni deitzen dugun ego-oskola ilusorio hori gainditzea?
Horixe da Derek Walcott karibear poeta eta antzerkigileak (1930eko urtarrilaren 23a) —hain aparteko trebetasun poetikoaren idazlea, ezen 1992ko Literaturako Nobel Saria bere maisutasunaren eta mesmerismoaren neurri guztiz eskasa ez dirudi— alboko distira argitsu batekin jorratzen duena "Maitasunaren ondoren maitasuna" izeneko poeman, bere Poema Bilduak: 1948–1984 liburuan aurkitua ( liburutegi publikoa ).
"Our Lives to Opening" izeneko On Being atal artxibatu batean, Jon Kabat-Zinn mindfulness aitzindariak Walcotten maisulana irakurtzen du — zalantzarik gabe, inoiz idatzitako poemarik handienetako eta hunkigarrienetako bat. Gozatu mesedez:

Haven't contacted the photographers, but descriptions on Flickr indicate San Francisco, CA, Land's End
Is it possible to find the credit for the photo of the labyrinth by the sea that illustrates the soundcloud reading of the poem? I hope to find out more about where that photo was taken, and if it is possible to visit that location. Thanks
That I'm busy reposting every article that I read on your site - says it all !
Hello,
Great site. Look forward to the daily post. Only to add (if it doesn't, delete) to the front page quote by Shakyamuni Buddha it's interesting that it's a transliteration of the Pali Canon:
Searching all directions
with one’s awareness,
one finds no one dearer
than oneself.
In the same way, others
are fiercely dear to themselves.
So one should not hurt others
if one loves oneself.
The subtle difference is that self-hate is pretty much unknown outside the West. Thank you.
