Buddhist Sphere

Am luat ieri o carte ce se numeste "ZEN and the BRAIN" scrisa de un respectabil profesor de neurologie, James H. Austin. Am vazut ca a mai publicat una anul trecut care continua travailul inceput. Omul practica Za-Zenul de ceva ani de zile si a trait o experienta interesanta:
"It strikes unexpectedly at 9 am on the surface platform of the London subway system. (Due to a mistake)...I wind up at a station where I have never been before....The view is the dingy interior of the station, some grimy buildings, a bit of open sky. Instantly the entire view acquires three qualities: Absolute Reality, Intrinsic Rightness, Ultimate Reflection. With no transition, it is all complete....Yes, there is the paradox of this extraordinary viewing. But there is no viewer. The scene is utterly empty, stripped of every last extension of an I-Me-Mine (his name for ego-self). Vanished in one split second is the familiar sensation that this person is viewing a city scene. The new viewing proceeds impersonally, not pausing to register the paradox that there is no human subject "doing" it. Three insights penetrate the experient, each conveying Total Understanding at depths far beyond simple knowledge: This is the eternal state of affairs. There is nothing more to do. There is nothing whatever to fear. "
Am gasit interviul acesta cu el si m-am gandit ca poate mai intereseaza si pe altii:)
