fairly customary, and perhaps a little pretentious, for me to cite the
literary gods Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett and George Orwell. And while it’s
not untrue to say that these three legends, who broke such fertile ground
in portraying the struggle of the alienated Everyman, made me want to be a
writer, I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge a fourth artistic
influence, one who might not come so readily to mind when th... 阅读全帖 |

德宝老师的观呼吸
如果你像木匠一样，掌握锯木头的诀窍，你就不用站在那里看着锯刃上上下下，那样的
话你会头昏眼花。你将注意力固定在锯齿接触木头的地方，这是你唯一可以锯出一直线
的方式。身为一位禅修者，你把注意力集中在鼻子内侧那个唯一的感受点上。从这个有

强调它。多数初学者在这方面会碰到一些麻烦，为了帮助他们专注在这个感觉上，他们
不自觉地凸显他们的呼吸。勉强与不自然的努力结果，实际上变成禅定的障碍而非促进

博伦及其小说《破坏者》书封
博伦获奖的片段是小说主角伊恩（Ian）和前女友在帕特莫斯岛上的一段场景。他写道：“她用游泳衣盖住了乳房……她的胳膊和肩膀上的皮肤是不同的棕褐色，就像浴缸里的水渍一样。”
《毁灭者》是博伦的第三部小说，评委们说他“从激烈的竞争之中脱颖而出”。
按照惯例，颁奖仪式在位于伦敦市中心圣詹姆斯广场的“军事俱乐部”（the Naval & Military Club）举行。这一场所有个 “不可描述”的别号叫“进出俱乐部”（The In & Out），这是《文学评论》将颁奖典礼选在这里的重要原因。
