Dat kan ben zelf dit jaar keer naar lezing geweest en dat bracht wel een gevoel van rust mee.
Maar vind je de boodschap niet goed of?

The Sage and the Trickster - A Parable

Many years ago in the ancient city of Vidisha there lived a very clever boy. This boy was the third son in a family of tricksters. Now, tricksters were poor people who lived not by farming or trade but by their wits. They were masters of the dice and the seed game. They told fortunes, sang songs and cast spells and were not above the picking of the occasional pocket. Now, this boy, was very clever and learned every trick his father had to teach very young.

One day, as he moved through a crowd which had gathered in a sacred grove looking for loosely swung purses he heard a quiet voice speaking as he had never heard anyone speak before. So, he listened. The speaker talked of love and harmony. He talked of sitting quietly and finding oneness with the universe. When the speaker had finished people filed past and dropped offerings in his bowl. Now, our clever lad sensed that he was on to something. Here was a trick which had never occurred to him before and it was considerably less taxing than picking pockets or singing songs for drunken farmers. So, the boy decided to come back the next day and listen. He came back not just the next day but for many days afterward until he had learned the sermons by heart. He then acquired a monk’s saffron robe and found a place under the sweet blossomed Frangipani tree at the crossroads and began to preach the sermons he had memorized.

Just as he had planned the crowds gathered and at the end of the sermon left offerings of food, drink and coin in his bowl. One day as he preached he noticed another boy listening intently. Every day the boy would return and listen to the sermons with rapt attention. After the conclusion of the sermon the new boy would remain, seated in the fragrant grove lost in meditation. This went on for several months until our clever young trickster had run through his memorized sermons. Determined to find a new place to preach and new sheep to shear the trickster gathered his belongings and prepared to move. As he did so he looked intently at the young student sitting deep in meditation under the trees and then … he saw. He saw for the first time that this young man had achieved the sacred state of oneness. He saw the look of profound peace and felt the radiated love and he wondered. How? How can this be? I am a fraud … a trickster … yet he has found what I pretended to find.

That moment the trickster became a disciple.

Wat is het nut van 'OOOOOOMMMM' roepen?

quote:

Een mantra is een gedicht, woord, uitspraak of een lettergreep die het midden houdt tussen een spreuk met magisch effect en een gebed. In sommige gevallen wordt hij herhaald en is hij bedoeld als een continue recitatie (chant).
