Nirvana Day + Día de Nirvana [Eng+Spa]

in We Are Alive Tribe10 months ago
This Thursday, February 8, has been a day of recurring rain at my house. The sky was covered with gray clouds all day. The cold this day was not bad, it was simply a refreshing day. I don't have much to share about my #life in terms of personal matters, since I haven't really done much.

So, I better move on once to comment on the anniversary of #History that I chose for today. It is a celebration that falls into the field of religiosity, philosophy, the history of religious thought… It is actually a very interesting date, from several perspectives. Today is 'Nirvana Day'.

Este jueves, 8 de febrero, ha sido un día de recurrente lluvia por mi casa. El cielo estuvo todo el día cubierto de nubes grises. El frío de este día no ha estado mal, simplemente ha sido un día refrescante. No tengo mucho para compartir sobre mi #vida en cuanto a asuntos personales, pues no he hecho gran cosa en verdad.

Así que, mejor paso de una vez a comentar sobre la efeméride de la #Historia que escogí para hoy. Se trata de una celebración que cae en el campo de la religiosidad, de la filosofía, de la historia del pensamiento religioso… En realidad es una fecha muy interesante, desde varias perspectivas. Hoy es el ‘Día de Nirvana’.

By the way, when I saw that phrase in the list of anniversaries, I thought we were talking about the North American musical band of the 90s. That legendary band of Alternative Rock, Punk Rock and Grunge; headed by the late Kurt Cobain. Which had some very emblematic songs of that pre-millennial generation, such as 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'.

Por cierto, cuando vi esa frase en el listado de las efemérides, yo pensé que estábamos hablando de la Banda musical norteamericana de los años 90. Aquella banda legendaria de Rock Alternativo, Punk Rock y Grunge; encabezada por el difunto Kurt Cobain. Que tenía unas canciones muy emblemáticas de esa generación pre-milenio, tal como ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’.

Well, any die-hard Nirvana fan might hate me for mentioning this song. It was the most popular song, and it became an anthem. But it was so popular that even Cobain himself came to hate it. It's a shame, because it has good lyrics, a powerful voice, and some guitar riffs that I loved listening to while writing this post.

But, it is not that nirvana that is celebrated today, it is a celebration in honor of the moment of enlightenment, awakening or 'extinguishing of the ego' of the Buddha Siddhartha Gautama. #Buddha was born as a prince, but at an early age he renounced everything and dedicated himself to asceticism, meditation and deep reflection. He lived between the 6th and 5th centuries BC, and left a philosophical legacy that continues to this day.

Bien, cualquier fanático acérrimo de Nirvana me podría odiar por mencionar esta canción. Fue la canción más sonada, y se volvió un himno. Pero era tan sonada que incluso el mismo Cobain llegó a odiarla. Es una pena, porque tiene una buena letra, una voz potente, y unos riffs de guitarra que me encantó escuchar mientras escribía este post.

Pero, no es de ese nirvana el que se celebra hoy, se trata de una celebración en honor al momento de iluminación, despertar o ‘apagado del ego’ del Buda Siddhartha Gautama. #Buda nació como príncipe, pero en su edad temprana renunció a todo y se dedicó al ascetismo, la meditación y la reflexión profunda, vivió entre los siglos VI y V a.C., y dejó un legado filosófico que llega hasta nuestros días.

The word #Nirvana is even older, it belongs to the Sanskrit language, and I believe it was recorded in the old Vedic texts. At first it can be translated as 'turn off', but it takes on a more complex meaning when we try to explain what it is that turns off. It is a term that is present in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism, but the version that is most familiar to me is precisely that of this last group.

#Buddhism is a non-theistic religion, or rather a philosophical system (it depends on how we see it from our Western culture), in which instead of worshiping higher entities, the overcoming of the current existence and the achievement of unity with the Universe. I know I'm giving a miserable and very reductionist summary, but for now I don't want to get into too complex depths. It is curious that, in the branches of Buddhism of the Far East, the figure of the #Buddha was exalted to the category of divinity, because I remember that this man did not seem interested in being worshiped, in short, followers can interpret things in different ways very interesting and diverse.

La palabra #Nirvana es aún más antigua, pertenece a la lengua sánscrita, y creo que estaba registrada en los viejos textos Vedas. Al inicio se puede traducir como ‘apagar’, pero toma un significado más complejo cuando tratamos de explicar qué cosa es lo que se apaga. Es un término que tiene presencia en el hinduismo, jainismo y budismo, pero la versión que me es más familiar es justamente la de este último grupo.

El #budismo es una religión no teísta, o más bien un sistema filosófico (depende de como lo veamos desde nuestra cultura occidental), en la que en lugar de adorar entidades superiores, se persigue la superación de la existencia actual de los prácticamente y el logro de la unidad con el todo. Ya sé que estoy dando un resumen miserable y muy reduccionista, pero por ahora no quiero meterme en profundidades demasiado complejas. Es curioso que, en las ramas del budismo del lejano oriente, la figura del #Buda se enalteciera a la categoría de divinidad, pues recuerdo que a este hombre no le parecía interesar ser adorado, en fin, los seguidores pueden interpretar las cosas de maneras muy interesantes y diversas.

The idea of transcending the world and its ties is very fascinating. It falls into the theme of mysticism and religiosity, but I still find it attractive, plus I like the traditional position that worship or blind faith is not required, rather perseverance and a mind ready for work is required. Paradoxically, it is to focus on the work of 'turning off the internal dialogue of the mind', so that we can perceive the world and its objects, instead of blinding our senses with mental illusions of what the world is like and what there is. in it.

This is why the word off, Nirvana, is used to describe that moment when a person breaks free from the shackles of self-deception and catches a glimpse of reality. I guess the best way to celebrate this date is to meditate a little... I wonder if meditating with Nirvana music in the background counts for this celebration (personal smile).

I say goodbye now, wishing you that you are well and that we can read again another time.

La idea de trascender al mundo y sus ataduras es bien interesante. Cae en el tema del misticismo y la religiosidad, pero igual me resulta atractivo, además de que me gusta la postura tradicional de que no se requiere adoración ni una fe ciega, más bien se requiere constancia y una mente dispuesta para el trabajo. Paradójicamente, es para enfocarse en el trabajo de ‘apagar el diálogo interno de la mente’, a fin de que logremos percibir el mundo y sus objetos, en lugar de cegar nuestros sentidos con las ilusiones mentales de como es el mundo y lo que hay en él.

Esto es lo que explica por qué es que se usa la palabra apagado, Nirvana, para describir ese momento en que la persona se libera de los grilletes del autoengaño y percibe un atisbo de la realidad. Supongo que la menor manera de celebrar esta fecha es meditando un poco… Me pregunto si meditar con la música de Nirvana de fondo cuenta para esta celebración (sonrisa personal).

Ya me despido, deseándote que tú estés bien y que nos podamos leer de nuevo en otra oportunidad.

!Gif Thanks a lot!

Es una práctica común que los seguidores endiosen a sus líderes. Aun en contra de los deseos expresos del líder.

El mensaje tiende a ser corrompido con esa clase de actitudes, lo que es una pena en verdad.
