Quote from Meister Eckhart

Prin peregrinarile mele pe valurile netului, am dat de un articol care cita acest fragment si care m-a facut sa ma gandesc la Cartea Tibetana a Mortii.

Eckhart writes : "If you find yourself frightened of dying... (within a so-called, so thought 'hellish nightmare') know this..." The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life; your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they are not punishing you, he said. They are freeing your soul...If you are frightened of dying and holding on, you will see devils tearing your life away. But if you have made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth." (Rubin 1990, p.82)... (please note that this is "symbolic" language !)


un fragment interesant dintr-un documentar despre primii crestini in franceza + o conferinta a lui Jon Kabat-Zinn on mindfulness:). E incredibil cat de mult seamana cu Richard Gere!
Si Alan Wallace.
