Spire
Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire on his cathedral. His mason anxiously advises against it, for the old cathedral was built without foundations. Nevertheless, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, until the stone pillars shriek and the ground beneath it swims. Its shadow falls ever darker on the world below, and on Dean Jocelin in wkkk.net the author of Lord of the Flies, The Spire is a dark and powerful portrait of one man's will, and the folly that he creates.'A superb tragedy … the book should become a classic.' Sunday Telegraph'A marvel.' Frank Kermode, New York Review of Books.每天学点佛学智慧:不生气
在这个世界上,能够事事如愿以偿的人本就没有几个。你一心一意做事情,付出很大努力,结果却不是自己想得到的,你会因此感到沮丧。其实,沮丧或生气,对结果来说根本没有任何意义。无论你怎样沮丧,怎样生气,结果已经产生,不能够再回到开始。这时,你所要做的就是回忆过程,寻找下一个出口。不必留恋昨日的失败,也不必介意已经成为事实的结果。无论你是否如愿以偿,都要及时从中跳出来,看清它在整个世界中的真实位置,即它在无限时空中的微不足道。这样,你得到了不会忘乎所以,失去了也不会气愤难当。
