寂静之塔
若人寿百岁,不闻生灭法;
不如生一日,而能得闻之。-《法句经》
灵鹫在天空上盘旋
乌鸦一阵阵
簇动在白骨稀疏的两山之间
阳光白炽,泥土白如炽
唯有黑体为生命
生命飞过来,飞过去
象是岩石上的魂灵
天空中的眼睛
追求纯洁的生存
把善与恶对立
只有火 这唯一的真理
他源于日
是日光带给人间的唯一信使
成为新的偶像
让一代代拜火教徒们
有了永恒的希望
拒绝轮回
拒绝沦落为昆虫和细菌
一具空躯壳
葬之于土,会污垢了大地
焚之于火,会染浊了空气
把肉体还归肉体
让天空中最上层的精灵
鹫、鹰来吞并
马自达来到亚兹德
带来了两座山
两座寂静了一万年的宝塔
给静寂的人寂静
一尊庙堂内
供奉着一支燃了几千年的圣火
火还要燃烧下去
照着……
弥赛亚世间出世
弥勒世间出世

这诗context是什么,xw有时间能不能给讲一讲。 - posted on 08/26/2003
令胡兄,此诗源于伊朗南部城市亚兹德郊外的一座拜火教寺庙
、近旁的两座山和一片天葬的场所。俗称的天葬源自于拜火教
仪式,理由如诗中所述,其实包括佛陀的弟子迦叶三兄弟等原
都是拜火教徒呢。
象任何教派一样,死亡的礼仪程式都是一件莫大的事。故而我
引用法句壁喻经中的一偈作引子。奥胡拉*马自达是拜火教的
善神,拜火教追求一种纯洁的生存,首先把善恶对立,亦是对
光明崇拜的源由(与黑暗对立)。俗世间拜火教主查拉斯图拉
想各位都是听说过的。
是拜火教中最先提到救世主的概念,在读音上,马屈亚与犹太
教的弥赛亚Messiah(希伯莱语?)和佛教弥勒Maitreya(梵语)有一
定的渊源。这里面是否也有宗教之间的渊源关系呢?
本来应留注解,以为不会有人再读诗了!无意中令兄一问,多
谢了! - XW请再接着说, so interestingposted on 08/26/2003
真是太神秘的学问了!
许多民族都有拜火教。中国的少数民族中就有。崇拜火,太阳等,都是原始崇拜,
M就是一个非常有趣神秘的发音。这个在以前的帖子里我谈过。 宗教的赞美,静坐
(YOGA 里清理呼吸道的喉音也是MMMMMMMMM)
再比如说MAYA这个名字,是世界上七个宗教里,女神(母神)的名字。你说奇不奇怪? - posted on 08/27/2003
再向上说,我以为拜火教的渊源与埃及的埃克那顿的太阳神崇
拜有关系。就象早期教派都不允许偶象崇拜一样,远方的太阳
终于方便化为眼前的一束圣火(方便?)。当然,灯火有夜里
照明之用,火的发明是人类的最伟大的成就,说着说着,又变
成了对自身的崇拜。
然而世间的道理与宗教的思维终究差一个层次,但是方便之中
又不可缺少人类自身的干系,方便久了也就成了真理!摩西上
西奈山听谕,才那么一丁点时间,犹太人就受不了看不见摸不
着的上帝,又筑起金牛来。基督教的画像早先是出于教育大众
目的的,简单中并不求美,这个在许多早期罗马的基督徒地下
陵墓中可以看到。即使后来崇拜偶象,也是心惊胆颤的。九世
纪中,因为在小亚细亚前锋与伊斯兰争战一直失利,而出现了
规模巨大的毁象运动。故而后来很难见基督教的早期造象,这
件事引起了很大的争议。我这里有一首旧诗:
【毁像运动】
战场上
总赢不了骠悍的穆斯林
是否
上帝的光芒
早已被墙上画的偶像
遮蔽
一声令下
铲!摩西从西奈山走下来
塑雕、壁画
在狂热的毁像运动中
将削尽
争论 为了战士的凯旋
为了美丽的眼睛
为了子孙后代的繁息
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
终究人们还是在习惯势力前面屈服了。就象这回大停电,人人
都认识到对电依赖太重了,事后,一切依旧。
上回提到早期佛教造象的犍陀罗艺术,也是受到希腊塑象艺术
的影响(亚历山大远征印度河谷)。这也是一种对佛陀的纯洁
感情的异化,以至于大乘佛教,都是源自于此时此地。当然佛
教教义最先并不在意偶象之有无,上面说的纯粹是一种宗教感
情,身历至亲亡故的人想来都能理会。
拒绝对偶象的崇拜,我以为犹太教和伊斯兰教做得彻底。当然
犹太教似乎还有动物祭祀的模式,伊斯兰教只有植物的花叶。
观伊斯兰清真寺或宫庭建筑,能看到极复杂的空间造型和组合
。阿尔罕布拉宫的檐饰里据说有诸多数学定理,我能看见的只
是毕达哥拉斯原理。许多清真寺花叶组合的盘杂有致之间,藏
着各种对称组合,这似乎又是数学上空间群的前身。难怪阿拉
伯人在数学上了不起,犹太人在学术上了不起。摆脱了肉体的
干扰,神思飞驰。。。。
玛雅让我讲,我就胡说一气。都是见闻直觉,不符合学术考据
的地方,请多包涵! - Re: XW请再接着说, so interestingposted on 08/29/2003
伊斯兰的文化习俗,我只知道个大概。拜火教中的一些说法,我是中学时最先从金庸的“倚天屠龙”里面看到了一些。
让XW将来,似乎都是隔世文化一样,感觉生疏的很。
xw, 是否介意俺问一问,有亲友在伊朗或阿拉伯吗?整么会对这别样文化这么感兴趣,知道这么多的历史。 - Re: XW请再接着说, so interestingposted on 08/29/2003
令胡啊,他哪里有什么阿拉伯亲戚,要有也是1000多年前的事情了。
我这兄弟呀,是无所不知,你考考他。
xw,请再解释一下《玫瑰花园》 - Re: XW请再接着说, so interestingposted on 02/05/2007
这个先顶起来,方便查找,呵呵,,, - Re: 波斯纪行:寂静之塔posted on 04/17/2008
哇,这么好的线竟错过了,顶起来。那天还在说我最想去的地方是伊朗,伊朗,伊朗,千万不要打仗啊。xw以前的帖子好像还比较舍得写字哈,不象现在的精简到晦涩:) - posted on 04/18/2008
浮生同学批评到位,看来咱最近原创是少了些。
只怕无底盆也接不住自来水:)

如果浮生已归化了,估计一时半伙去不了。那次与小曼浮生关于霍梅
尼伊朗的讨论,后来七月转巴列维,我只是短短说了些,现敲一两段
,以示所说不讹:
The Pahlavi Dynasty(1921-1979)
After the war(WWI), Britain's wish to remain in Iran, and to control the ruling Shahs, was thwarted by a coup d'etat in 1921. The charismatic and influential Persian, Reza Khan, became prime minister in 1923, and the Ghajar empire was formally ended by the Majlis in December 1925.
During the first few years, Reza Khan had to extinguish several rebellious groups, but agreed to respect the authority of the Majlis, though Reza maintained almost omplete control of Iran. He had the huge task of dragging the country into the 20th century: literacy was very poor; the transport infra-structure was rudimentary at best; the health system was virtually nonexistent; and industry and agriculture were stagnant. One of his more controversial decrees was to lift, literally, the Islamic veil worn by Iranian women; and to generally raise the status of women.
Iran(the new name was officially adopted in 1934) was again neutral during WWII, but Britain and Russia established spheres of influence over vast areas of Iran to ensure that Germany had no control of the country or a corridor through Iran. In 1941, Reza was forced into exile in South Africa because the Russians and British felt he was too friendly with the Axis powers. His 22-year-old son, Mohammed Reza, succeededhim. After the war, the Russian forces were persuaded to depart(with difficulty and American connivance), and the young Shah regained absolute power. Iran was now firmly aligned with the est.
The Shah's government was repressive, but Iran again tried to rapidly modernise: illiteracy was reduced, women continued to be emacipated, land holdings were redistributed, health services improved and a major programme of industrialisation embarked upon, but the country experienced the inevitable conflicts resulting from a rapid 'westernisation' of a conservative, and mainly rural, Muslim population.
The 1974 oil price revolution turned out to be the Shah's undoing. He allowed US arms merchants to persude him to squander Iran's vast new wealth on huge arsenals of useless weapons. Fortunes were wasted on inappropriate development schemes. In the end, the flood of petro-dollars ended up lining the pockets of a select few while galloping inflation made the vast majority of the country worse off than before.
The Great Ayatollah Khomeini
Born in the small village of Khomein in central Iran, Seyed Ruhhollah Musavi Khomeini followed in the family tradition by studying theology, philosophy and law in the holy city of Ghom. In the 1920s he earned the title of ayatollah(the highest rank of SHiite cleric) and settled down to teach and write. He first came to public attention in 1962 when he opposed the Shah's plan to reduce the clergy's property rights and emancipate women.
In 1964 he was exiled to Turkey, then pushed on to Iraq where he remained until 1978 when he was shunted on to France. Here he found the eyes of the international press turned on him, and it is ironic that his cause was boosted by western media organisations, the BBC in particular, at a time when he was little known even in his home country. After the Shah fled in 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini returned to a tumultuous welcome, and took control of the country.
