Perhaps the most beat poet has chosen syncretism Buddhist, by the contemplation of life as the view of life, immediate rigor of small things, the intimate knowledge of what happens with subtle visibility is Gary Snyder. An example: The poem entitled "Basho reading on the plane", included in the anthology The savage mind prepared by Nacho Fernandez and published by burning : "The conference, / This little seat next to the window. / My retirement. "
Today, presented Bliss, a tribute to the beat of a lot of young writers and not so young and not so beat beat, in Zaragoza (FNAC, 20h.), I thought of Snyder. As of bliss, of course. The bliss that erupted in Kerouac as Enlightenment, Buddhism beat in which Snyder had much to do. Although the first American Buddhist Thoreau had been a century earlier, simply read the Walden. They did Snyder and Kerouac. See nature as he gestures of life, the ways in which time moves and breathes, between us and the world, contemplate from the outside, as natural beings rather than civil. Zen wild against the ego of each.
also read the classics East. Snyder would go to study in Japan. Kerouac took to read everything I could about Buddha. A reading sutras and more sutras, in the subway, bus, walking, going to and fro. Free your mind, deepen the spontaneous. Live. And writing. Kerouac became a hit in bliss beat, the rhythm of jazz gave way to the blues. There are your haiku - jaikus according to Mark Cantelli, translator of the edition published by Bartleby - or Mexico City Blues or The Dharma Bums where Gary Snyder is the star under the name of Japhy Ryder.
