Abstract

CORRAL, Elizabeth. “There is no net like delusion”: an approach to Buddhist ethics. Valenciana [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.28, pp.219-239.  Epub Oct 18, 2021. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v13i28.594.

This paper seeks to understand some terms of Buddhism (meditation, awareness, precepts, intuitive knowledge, awakening), then examined them in creation passages where characters seem to adopt the difficult practice of “living in the present”, and even the Bodhisattva’s precepts. With both, I try to understand my own zazen practice, which began with a therapeutic recommendation and became a capital interest along the way; to discern how the fascination of reading, here with examples from Aira and Bellatin guided by Pitol, was transformed through Buddism practice into a model of life.

Keywords : Ethics; Bhuddism; Awareness; Hispanic American Literature; Meditation.
