SHADOW IN THE NIGHT
SIGIRIYA’S SHINY LADIES
Jacques COULARDEAU, French & English
translations
This edition of the Sigiri
Graffiti set up in a dramatic form about the fate of King Kasyapa is dedicated
to those who made my encounter with them and the Asparas on the Rock face
possible.
Second Sudarshani who lived at the top of a tree and always made fun of my
love for elephants.
Third the monks of the Pidurangala Monastery where I had the opportunity to climb to the
top of their rock and spend a full night with the reclining Buddha next to the plaque of thanks of
the monks to King Kasyapa who gave
them this rock in exchange for the Sigiriya Rock.
That was a good time of discovery
and meditation that meant a lot of interesting cogitation and mental
improvement.
I kind of found some epiphany
after five years of extreme vagrancy and ten more years of primeval
misunderstanding.
The Dhammapada and Pali were
my healing potions and my visionary organic rational hallucinogens that had
been elaborated by twenty five centuries of absolutely sober wisdom.
No one needs soma, chrism,
ayahuaska or tobacco to go up to the sky of luminous imagination and the heaven
of human wisdom.
