In the spring of 2004, David Lascelles invited a group of monks from Bhutan to build a stupa in the gardens of Harewood House in Yorkshire. It was a step into the unknown for the Bhutanese. They didn't speak any English, had never travelled outside their own culture, had never flown in an airplane or seen the ocean.Theirs was one kind of journey, but the project was also another kind of voyage for David. It was an attempt to reconcile a deep interest in Buddhism with the 250 years that his family has lived at Harewood, the country house and estate - with its links to one of the darkest chapters in Britain's colonial past - that he has loved, rejected, tried to make sense of and been haunted by all his life. In Buddhist thought, one of the functions of a stupa is to harmonise the environment in which it is built and subdue the chaotic forces at work there.Would this stupa have a similar effect, quelling the forces of Harewood's past and harmonising the contradictions of its present?A Hare-Marked Moon tells the story behind the extraordinary meeting of cultures that resulted in the Harewood Stupa, interspersed with accounts of David's travels in the Himalayas which delve into the rich and turbulent history of the region, and the beliefs that have shaped it.

Produktinformasjon

A HareMarked Moon: En reise fra Bhutan til Yorkshire

Oppdag den fascinerende historien bak A HareMarked Moon: The Story of an English Stupa, hvor øst møter vest og tradisjonelle buddhistiske verdier møter britisk kultur. Dette er mer enn bare en bok; det er en invitasjon til å utforske de dype kulturelle forbindelsene som ble skapt når en gruppe munker fra Bhutan fikk i oppdrag å bygge en stupa i de naturskjønne omgivelsene til Harewood House i Yorkshire.

Kulturell sammensmelting og personlig reise

I 2004 tok David Lascelles, en arv av Harewood, et dristig skritt ved å invitere disse munkene til å reise til England. For dem var det en reise inn i det ukjente. De hadde aldri vært utenfor sitt eget land, snakket ikke engelsk og hadde aldri opplevd å fly. Men prosjektet handlet ikke bare om å bygge en konstruksjon; det handlet om å knytte bånd mellom to kulturer gjennom en felles interesse for buddhisme.

  • Kulturell Verdi: Boken presenterer den unike historien om hvordan denne stupaen ble en kanal for refleksjon over britisk kolonihistorie.
  • Reisebeskrivelser: David deler sine opplevelser fra Himalaya, som gir leseren et innblikk i regionens rike og turbulente historie.
  • Harmoni og Balansere: Stupaens hensikt er å harmonisere omgivelsene, noe som i sin tur forsøker å dempe de kaotiske kreftene fra fortiden og nåtiden.

Hvorfor lese A HareMarked Moon?

Enten du er interessert i buddhisme, historie eller kulturer, er denne boken en uvurderlig ressurs. I løpet av lesningen vil du ikke bare lære om stupaens konstruksjon, men også om hvordan slike prosjekter kan fostre forståelse og respekt mellom mennesker med forskjellige bakgrunner og tradisjoner.
