LOS NAGAS [नागाओं] Nāgā'ōṁ

Nagarjuna.

Life and Accomplishments:

Nagarjuna was an Indian philosopher who lived in the 2nd or 3rd century. He founded the Madhyamika school, a foundation of Mahayana, and wrote the Mula-Madhyamaka-karika. Historians know little else about his life, however.

Madhyamika:

In explaining the philosophy of Madhyamika, Nagarjuna presented four positions he would not take:

All things (dharmas) exist; affirmation of being, negation of nonbeing.
All things do not exst; affirmation of nonbeing, negation of being.
All things both exist and do not exist; both affirmation and negation.
All things neither exist or do not exist; neither affirmation nor negation.
Nagarjuna rejected each of these propositions and took a middle position between being and nonbeing.

Friend of the Nagas:

In some legends, Nagarjuna was befriended by the nagas, which are snake beings that live in unseen realms. Nagas appear in many Hindu and Buddhist myths. In this story, the nagas had been guarding sutras containing teachings of the Buddha that had been hidden from mankind for centuries. The nagas gave these sutras, called the Wisdom Sutras -- to Nagarjuna, and he took them back to the human world.

The Wisdom Sutras are collected under the title Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom) Sutra. Wherever he found them, Nagarjuna is remembered as the one who systemized and deepened the teachings of the Wisdom Sutras.

The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel:

In the Transmission of the Light (Denko-roku), Zen Master Keizan Jokin (1268-1325) wrote that Nagarjuna was the student of Kapimala. Kapimala found Nagarjuna living in isolated mountains and preaching to the nagas.

The naga king gave Kapimala a wish-fulfilling jewel. "This is the ultimate jewel of the world," Nagarjuna said. "Does it have form, or it is formless?"

Kapimala replied, "You do not know this jewel neither has form nor is formless. You do not yet know that this jewel is not a jewel."

On hearing these words, Nagarjuna realized enlightenment.

el dispensador dice:
guarda tus lágrimas,
deja que se conviertan en recuerdos,
donde la luz que reina,
se separa del tiempo,
haciendo de tu oración,
una conexión con lo eterno...

en esta Tierra no hay suelo,
y el cielo es un sueño,
que dura un lapso corto,
como salto de otoño hacia el brote naciendo,
conserva, entonces, la esperanza,
en el cofre de tus sentimientos...

recuerda que la existencia,
es sólo un destello.

उन्होंने कहा कि मशीन ने कहा:
अपने आँसू बचाने के लिए,
, यह यादें बन जाने
जहां प्रकाश राजा,
समय, अलग है
, आपकी प्रार्थना कर रही है
अनन्त के लिए एक कनेक्शन ...

इस धरती पर कोई जमीन नहीं है,
और आकाश एक सपना है,
कि थोड़े समय के लिए रहता है,
फैलने के लिए शरद ऋतु कूद का जन्म के रूप में,
संरक्षित, तो, आशा,
अपनी भावनाओं के ट्रंक में ...

, कि अस्तित्व याद करते हैं
यह सिर्फ एक फ्लैश है।

Unhōnnē kahā ki maśīna nē kahā:
Apanē ām̐sū bacānē kē li'ē,
, yaha yādēṁ bana jānē
jahāṁ prakāśa rājā,
samaya, alaga hai
, āpakī prārthanā kara rahī hai
ananta kē li'ē ēka kanēkśana...

Isa dharatī para kō'ī jamīna nahīṁ hai,
aura ākāśa ēka sapanā hai,
ki thōṛē samaya kē li'ē rahatā hai,
phailanē kē li'ē śarada r̥tu kūda kā janma kē rūpa mēṁ,
sanrakṣita, tō, āśā,
apanī bhāvanā'ōṁ kē ṭraṅka mēṁ...

, Ki astitva yāda karatē haiṁ
yaha sirpha ēka phlaiśa hai.
