Si me conoces, sabes que me vuelve loco esta canción de Jamiroquai, This corner of the earth. Me transporta a mi particular rincón del mundo 🙂
Si me conoces, también sabes que me gusta la filosofía del budismo Hua-yen, soy así de friki 🙂
¿Y sabes qué? Es sorprendente ver el texto de la canción y compararlo con algunos textos del Hua-yen. ¿Casualidad?
La canción: Corner of the earth
Little darlin’ don’t you see the sun is shining
Just for you, only today
If you hurrry you can get a ray on you, come with me, just to play
Like every humming bird and bumblebee
Every sunflower, cloud and every tree
I feel so much a part of this
Nature’s got me high and it’s beautiful
I’m with this deep eternal universe
From death until rebirth
This corner of the earth is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play
On the face of it I’m blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me
So inspired of that there’s nothing left to do or say
Think I’ll dream, ‘till the stars shine
The wind it whispers and the clouds don’t seem to care
And I know inside, that it’s all mine
It’s the chorus of the breakin’ dawn
The mist that comes before the sun is born
To a hazy afternoon in May
Nature’s got me high and it’s so beautiful
I’m with this deep eternal universe from death until rebirth
You know that this corner of the earth is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emeral feathers play
On the face of it I’m blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me
This corner of the earth is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emeral feathers play
On the face of it I’m blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me
La filosofía del Hua-Yen Buddhism
Vairocana is the cosmic Buddha, whose body is infinitely large, and whose life is infinitely long.
[…]
The Hua-Yen universe is said to be the very body of this Buddha, and his presence shines sublimely forth from every particle in the universe. Hence his name, Vairocana, the Buddha of Great Illumination, whose light shines into every corner of the universe. A pamphlet which the visitors receives at Todai-ji informs him that:
“Vairocana Buddha exists everywhere and every time in the universe, and the universe itself is his body. At the same time, the songs of birds, the colors of flowers, the currents of streams, the figures of clouds – all these are the sermon of Buddha.”
