Jon Kabat-Zinn Quote

Z hlediska trpělivosti se věci stanou proto, protože se stanou jiné věci. Nic není oddělené nebo izolované. Neexistuje žádná absolutní, konečná, prapůvodní příčina. Pokud vás někdo udeří holí, nebudete se hněvat na hůl nebo na paži, která ji drží. Rozhněváte se na osobu, které ta paže patří. Ale pokud se zamyslíte trochu hlouběji, zjistíte, že neexistuje žádný uspokojivý důvod hledat důvod svého hněvu v dané osobě, která ve skutečnosti neví, co dělá, protože je v daném okamžiku duchem nepřítomna. Kde by tedy měla ležet vina nebo trest? Možná bychom se měli hněvat na rodiče dané osoby pro špatné zacházení s bezbranným dítětem. Nebo na svět, ve kterém je málo milosrdenství. Ale co je to svět? Nejste vy sám součástí tohoto světa? Nezažíváte vy sám návaly hněvu, nemáte za určitých podmínek násilnická nebo dokonce vražená nutkání?

About Jon Kabat-Zinn

Jon Kabat-Zinn (born Jon Kabat, June 5, 1944) is an American professor emeritus of medicine and the creator of the 'Stress Reduction Clinic' and the 'Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society' at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Kabat-Zinn was a student of Zen Buddhist teachers such as Philip Kapleau, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Seung Sahn, and a founding member of Cambridge Zen Center. His practice of hatha yoga, Vipassanā and appreciation of the teachings of Soto Zen and Advaita Vedanta led him to integrate their teachings with scientific findings. He teaches mindfulness, which he says can help people cope with stress, anxiety, pain, and illness. The stress reduction program created by Kabat-Zinn, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), is offered by medical centers, hospitals, and health maintenance organizations, and is described in his book Full Catastrophe Living.
