各界推薦
各界推薦 RUMI(Jalaluddin Rumi,1207-1273) 生活在13世紀的中東地區,他在37歲時遇見來自塔布瑞茲的一位苦行僧Shamsuddin,遇到Shamsuddin讓RUMI體驗到許多神祕的事物,此時的RUMI已經體驗了宗教給人的感動與狂喜,之後他把這些神秘的宗教經驗化為一首首的詩篇。之後RUMI成為蘇菲教派的領袖,同樣也是宗教上的長者與老師,他一生中寫下了相當多的詩歌與散文,這些內容及形式都不拘的詩作,可說是觸碰了人類最深刻的情感,並且充滿了深深的人生智慧。 其中RUMI最有名的作品就是兩萬五千組兩行韻體詩組成的《Divan-i Shams-i Tabriz 》,而《RUMI: THE BOOK OF LOVE》是由編輯Coleman Barks重新輯錄RUMI的重要詩作集結成的作品。這些詩作雖然距離現在已經超過了七百年,不過透過這些文字你仍可發現RUMI思想和語言中蘊含的智慧。
