Список книг автора Vladislav TsylyovRilke, Zen Master: On Awakening to Beauty. Part 1. About a Broken Nose
In this fantasy book, the outstanding twentieth-century poet R. M. Rilke (1875—1926) speaks with enlightened masters of non-doing about the most intimate thing, beauty. On the one hand, there are allusions to the Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng and the Records of the Teacher Linji; on the other, there are Rilke’s own works: koan-like poems on Buddha and a few others (from the New Poems), fragments of the poet’s essay on the sculptor Auguste Rodin and extracts from his letters.
Zen Master Rilke: There Are No Teachings. From The Buddha-Rilke Series
This little book contains three thought-provoking etudes in which Rainier Maria Rilke, the preeminent poet of the 20th century, appears as… a Zen master. In conversation with Gautama Buddha and a Chan school patriarch, the poet reflects on the futility of worldly glory, his own path to true selfhood, and describes a nightingale-like ecstasy he once experienced. The illustrations include several imaginary ´Zen-style´ portraits of Rilke.
Buddha Rilke: «We – are the bees of the Invisible». Poet’s dialogues with Gautama Buddha
The poet Rilke and the Buddha Gautama – what do they have in common? Perhaps the dialogues of the outstanding lyricist of the twentieth century with the Awakened One will help to answer this question. Drawings by the graphic artist Olga Kopezky (1870—1928) and other illustrations accompany the text of the book.
The Gatha of the Idiot Who Plays Ball. An Absurd Zen Story
“The Song of the Idiot” is one of the paradoxical poems by R. M. Rilke (1875—1926), the greatest modernist poet of the 20th century. After reading this funny book, the reader will know what this poem has in common with Zen’s sense of nonsense. As the story goes, when the famous Master Tho Idi heard this “Song”, he exclaimed, “If I am asked about the Sense of all sense, I will bounce like a fool’s ball”. The book is illustrated with drawings by Zen artists of the Edo period.
