blij te horen dat jullie genieten van de massa aan kleine dingen die India te bieden heeft, zoals kuieren in een klein dorpje tussen de mensen. Kom daar regelmatig tot rust om te genieten en je plaats te zien in deze wonderlijke wereld... Papa Carl
Op zoek naar 'Bodhgaya', kwam ik volgende tekst tegen, over Buddha die daar onder de boom Bodh, tot inzicht kwam. Ik wil jullie die tekst niet weerhouden, gezien die misschien ook op jullie van toepassing is:
Sometime during the sixth century BC, a solitary, wandering ascetic sat to meditate beneath a shady tree, resolving not to rise until he had attained the ultimate knowledge of spiritual enlightenment. Thus began Buddhism, one of the world's great religions and pilgrimage traditions.
Historians, religious scholars, and various Buddhist sects debate the actual year of the Buddha's birth; it may have been as early as 644 BC or as late as 540 BC. It is, however, relatively certain that he was born Prince Gautama Siddhartha, the son of Suddhodana, king of the Shakya tribe. His birthplace was the forest grove of Lumbini in the hilly regions of what is today northeastern India and Nepal. Miraculous events surrounded his birth. Sages prophesied that he would become either a powerful king or, renouncing his royal life, an enlightened being and religious leader. King Suddhodhana, wanting the former and fearing the later, sought to insulate his son from religious and philosophical concerns by surrounding him with a life of ease and plenty. Enclosed within palace walls, the prince grew to manhood and fatherhood never having seen old age, sickness, poverty or death.
Yet this blindness to the full range of human experience was not to last. One day the prince ventured beyond the castle walls and, witnessing the inevitable sufferings of human existence, recognized the shallowness of his pampered life. Metaphysical questions filled his mind and with them the conviction that he must seek and know the great truth of life. Thus, at the age of twenty, he let go the constraints of family and worldly responsibility to tread the path of self-discovery.....
Denk er daar in de hitte van Bodhggaya, eens over na, maar... nu moet je je niet bekeren tot Buddhisme hoor.
