Tosturi ~ Compassion


“A work of art is created because there is basic sacredness, independent of the artist’s particular religious faith or trust. [...] Sacredness from that point of view is the discovery of goodness, which is independent of personal, social, or physical restrictions.”
― Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, (‘Heaven, Earth, and Man', Dharma Art, p112, Shambhala, 1996, 1-57062-13)

Es i i'r dre cwrdd â fy mrawd am ei ben-blwydd e. Cwrddon ni yn Wagamama (ei hoff fwyty, rydw i'n meddwl) a chawson ni pryd da iawn. Rydw i'n siŵr rydw i erioed wedi mynd yna cymaint, ond mae fy mrawd yn wastad cwrdd yno. Felly rydw i wedi dod i werthfawrogi’r lle mwy a mwy. Mae'r lle yn swnllyd, mae'n anodd i mi glywed digon dda i sgwrsio o’n does dim ots i fi os rydyn ni eistedd yn dawel. Mae'r bwyd yn dda iawn ac mae'n atgoffa i mi fwyta yn Nepal, felly atgofion da hefyd.

Es i i weld Eglwys Sant Ioan, roedd fy hen daid (tad mam fy mam) arfer canu'r clychau yno. Rydw i'n hoffi'r ffenestri gwydr lliw, a'r bobl wedi cofio ynddynt. Mae'r un hon yw Tywysoges Marina. Mae ei llun hi dangos golygfa o'r Samariad Trugarog, fel symbol o'i gwaith hi gyda'r corff nyrsio. Mae'n ysbrydoledig i gofio pobl a'u gweithiau da.

I went to town to meet my brother for his birthday. We met at Wagamama (his favorite restaurant, I think) and had a very good meal. I'm sure I've never been there that much, but my brother always meets there. So I have come to appreciate the place more and more. The place is noisy, it's hard for me to hear well enough to chat because I don't mind if we sit quietly. The food is very good and it reminds me of eating in Nepal, so good memories too.

I went to see St John's Church, my great grandfather (my mother's father) used to ring the bells there. I like the stained glass windows, and the people remembered in them. This one is Princess Marina. Her picture shows a scene of the Good Samaritan, as a symbol of her work with the nursing body. It is inspiring to remember people and their good works.
