Vita e morte – Life and death – Bodhidharma

Vita e morte

Non odiare la vita e la morte,
non amare la vita e la morte.
Conserva ogni pensiero
libero dall’illusione e, in vita,
assisterai all’inizio del nirvana
e, alla morte, sperimenterai
la certezza di non rinascere.

Bodhidharma

Life and death

Don’t hate life and death,
do not love life and death.
Keep every thought
free from illusion and, in life,
you will witness the beginning of nirvana
and, at death, you will experience
the certainty of not being reborn.

Bodhidharma

Via delle stelle – Way of the stars

Via delle stelle

Il viaggio ha inizio
nella notte
dietro una nube
appare un treno
Andremo insieme
alla ricerca
del tempo perduto
per accendere speranza
sul sentiero
di sogni nuovi

Stars way

The journey begins
in the night
behind a cloud
It appears a train
We will go together
to search
remembrance of past
to turn hope
on the trail
new dreams

Vacuità – Emptiness

Vacuità qui, Vacuità lì,

ma l’universo infinito

rimane sempre davanti ai nostri occhi.

Infinitamente grande e infinitamente piccolo;

nessuna differenza, poiché le definizioni

sono scomparse e non si vedono limiti.

Così pure circa l’Essere e il non-Essere.

Non perdere tempo in dubbi e discussioni

che non hanno nulla a che vedere con ciò.

Una cosa, tutte le cose:

si muovono e si mescolano, senza distinzione.

Vivere in questa realizzazione

significa essere privi di ansietà circa la non-perfezione.

Vivere in tale fede è la strada al non-dualismo,

poiché il non-duale è uno con la mente fiduciosa.

Parole! La Via è oltre il linguaggio, poiché in essa non c’è

Nessun ieri

Nessun domani

Nessun oggi.

Sosan Hsin Hsin Ming (tratto da “Il Libro del Nulla”)

Emptiness here, Emptiness there,

but the infinite universe

is always before our eyes.

Infinitely large and infinitely small;

no difference, since the definitions

have disappeared and no boundaries are seen.

So too with Being and Non-Being.

Do not waste time in doubts and discussions

that have nothing to do with this.

One thing, all things:

move and mingle, without distinction.

To live in this realization

is to be without anxiety about non-perfection.

Live in this faith is the road to non-duality,

because the non-dual is one with the trusting mind.

Words! The Way is beyond language, for in it there

No yesterday

No tomorrow

No today.

Sosan Hsin Hsin Ming (from “The Book of Nothing”)

Vita ed amore – Life and love

 

Vita ed amore

L’amore si rinnova
come respiro acceso
ali e carezza
nell’abbraccio del cuore
senza inizio e fine
perché ogni istante è vita

Life and love

Love renews itself
as breath turned on
wings and caress
in the embrace of the heart
without beginning or end
cause every moment is life

Vorrei poter dire – I Wish I could

Vorrei poter dire

„Vorrei poter dire tutto quello che c’è da dire in una sola parola. Odio tutte le cose che possono accadere tra l’inizio di una frase e la sua fine.“

Leonard Cohen

I Wish I could

I wish I could say all there is to say in one word. I hate all the things that can happen between the beginning of a sentence and its end. “

Leonard Cohen

Gratitudine – Gratitudine – Lord Halifax

🌸Gratitudine🌸

La gratitudine è una di quelle cose
che non possono essere comprate.
Essa deve nascere con l’uomo,
o altrimenti tutti gli obblighi del mondo
non potranno crearla.

Lord Halifax
🌸🌿🌸#pensierieparole
🌸Gratitude

Gratitude is one of those things
which cannot be bought.
It must be born with man,
or otherwise all the obligations of the world
they will not be able to create it.

ERIC CLAPTON Live at Budokan, Tokyo, 2001

Eric Patrick Clapton (IPA: [ˈɛɹɪk ˈpætɹɪk ˈklæptən]; Ripley, 30 marzo 1945) è un cantautore, chitarrista e compositore britannico.

Soprannominato «Slowhand» («Mano lenta») e «God» («Dio»), definito da Chuck Berry «The Man of the Blues» («l’uomo del blues»), Clapton è annoverato fra i chitarristi
blues e rock più famosi e influenti.

Nell’arco della sua lunga carriera, ha collaborato con altri artisti acclamati e ha militato in numerosi gruppi (The Yardbirds, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Cream,
Blind Faith, Delaney & Bonnie, Derek and the Dominos) prima di affermarsi come solista, sperimentando nel corso degli anni svariati stili musicali, dal blues di matrice
tradizionale al rock psichedelico, dal reggae al pop rock.

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Clapton
Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE (born 30 March 1945), is an English rock and blues guitarist, singer and songwriter. He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist and separately as a member of the Yardbirds and Cream. Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential
guitarists of all time.[1] Clapton ranked second in Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”[2] and fourth in Gibson’s “Top 50
Guitarists of All Time”.[3] He was also named number five in Time magazine’s list of “The 10 Best Electric Guitar Players” in 2009 [4]

In the mid-1960s, Clapton left the Yardbirds to play blues with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Immediately after leaving Mayall, Clapton formed the power trio Cream
with drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce, in which Clapton played sustained blues improvisations and “arty, blues-based psychedelic pop”.[5] Furthermore, he
formed blues rock band Blind Faith with Baker, Steve Winwood, and Ric Grech. For most of the 1970s, Clapton’s output bore the influence of the mellow style of JJ Cale
and the reggae of Bob Marley. His version of Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” helped reggae reach a mass market.[6] Two of his most popular recordings were “Layla”,
recorded with Derek and the Dominos; and Robert Johnson’s “Crossroads”, recorded with Cream. Following the death of his son Conor in 1991, Clapton’s grief was expressed
in the song “Tears in Heaven”, which featured in his Unplugged album.

Clapton has been the recipient of 18 Grammy Awards, and the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. In 2004, he was awarded a CBE at Buckingham Palace for
services to music.[7][8][9] In 1998, Clapton, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, founded the Crossroads Centre on Antigua, a medical facility for recovering
substance abusers.
