Terminando de ver Samaria (Kim ki Duk, 2004) busco información sobre Vasumitra, la puta santa hindú, poderosa guía espiritual... se decía de ella que todos aquellos con quienes copulaba, se hacían budistas. Las niñas, protagonistas de este muy recomendable film, intentando seguir su ejemplo aprenden mucho acerca del amor maduro, pero semilla que cae en tierra no preparada, o en mala estación, se pudre envenenado su ambiente. Semilla que siembra muerte. Transmigración.
Pero como decía Holderling... Donde crece el peligro, crece también lo que salva."You should not have any lust for her, your head should not be turned by her, you should not have any such impure thoughts, you should not be ravaged by such desires, you should not be under the power of a woman, you should not be so bewitched, you should not enter the realm of temptation, you should not sink into the mire of sensuality, you should not be bound by the snares of the devil, you should not do what should not be done." (1270-1271)Others, however, urging Sudhana to seek out Vasumitra, provide directions to a house that in its greatness resembles a castle. There, he sees her:
There he saw Vasumitra, who was beautiful, with golden skin and black hair, her limbs and body well-proportioned, more beautiful in form than all celestial and human beings in the realm of desire, her voice finer even than that of the god Brahma. (1271)Vasumitra tells Sudhana:
"[A]ll who come to me with minds full of passion, I teach them so that they become free of passion." (1272)She then adds:
"Some attain dispassion just by embracing me, and achieve an enlightening concentration called 'womb receiving all sentient beings without rejection.' Some attain dispassion just by kissing me, and attain an enlightening concentration called 'contact with the treasury of virtue of all beings.'" (1272)From a commentary on Sudhana's encounter with Vasumitra, we learn:
This woman was settled in a polluted, fearsome realm, making it hard for people to believe in her; so the land was called Danger. By means of meditation, she entered into defiled realms and turned them all into spheres of knowledge; by virtue of great compassion, she remained in the ordinary world, and by virtue of knowledge she remained unaffected, so her city was called City of Jewel Arrays. (1599)
