Mediating Suffering: Buddhist Detachment and Tantric Responsibility in Michael Ondaatje’s Anil’s Ghost

In “Mediating Suffering: Buddhist Detachment and Tantric Responsibility in Michael Ondaatje’s Anil’s Ghost,” Justin Hewitson argues that the global mediation of suffering following human rights abuses creates the offender-victim binary. The way in which moral judgments drive urgent peacemaking is seldom connected to long-term victimhood narratives. This psychology can exacerbate cyclical patterns of anger, exploitation, and violence by deferring responsibility. Ondaatje’s controversial novel, Anil’s Ghost, which reflects these charged accusations, refuses to settle blame on any side of the Sri Lankan conflict; instead, it offers the troubling recognition that offenders, victims, and mediators are all causal agents. Hewitson explores the text’s Buddhist and Hindu merging of detachment and responsibility as its characters, Anil, Palapina, and Ananda adopt empirical and intuitive therapies in response to the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths of suffering. It is argued that Ananda’s samādhi-like vision at the novel's conclusion projects a middle way between traumatic anger and loss via detached empathy. Justin M.

调解苦难:迈克尔·昂达耶特的《尼尔的鬼魂》中的佛教分离与密宗责任

贾斯汀·休伊森(Justin Hewitson)在“调解苦难:迈克尔·昂达捷(Michael Ondaatje)的《尼尔的鬼魂》中的佛教分离与密宗责任”中指出,人权受到侵犯后,苦难的全球调解创造了罪犯-受害者二元关系。道德判断推动紧急缔造和平的方式很少与长期的受难者叙述联系在一起。这种心理可以通过延迟责任来加剧愤怒,剥削和暴力的周期性模式。反映这些指控的昂达阿杰有争议的小说《阿尼尔的鬼魂》拒绝将责任归咎于斯里兰卡冲突的任何方面。相反,它令人不安地意识到罪犯,受害者和调解人都是因果关系。翰威森(Hewitson)探索文本的佛教和印度教将超支与责任的融合,其角色为阿尼尔(Anil),帕拉皮娜(Palapina),阿南达(Ananda)则采用经验和直觉的疗法来回应佛陀的四大苦难真理。有人认为,阿南达在小说结论中的类似三摩地的构想在创伤性愤怒和因同情心造成的损失之间架起了一条中间道路。贾斯汀·休伊森(Justin M.Hewitson),“调解苦难:佛教徒分离与密宗责任,第2页,共10页,在Michael Ondaatje的《鬼魂》中” CLCWeb:比较文学与文化21.5(2019):特刊苦难,耐力,理解。和弗兰克·史蒂文森 调解苦难:佛教分离与密宗责任,第2页,共10页,在Michael Ondaatje的《尼尔的鬼魂》中。CLCWeb:比较文学与文化21.5(2019年):特刊苦难,耐力,理解。埃德 西蒙·埃斯托克,道格拉斯·伯曼和弗兰克·史蒂文森 调解苦难:佛教分离与密宗责任,第2页,共10页,在Michael Ondaatje的《尼尔的鬼魂》中。CLCWeb:比较文学与文化21.5(2019年):特刊苦难,耐力,理解。埃德 西蒙·埃斯托克,道格拉斯·伯曼和弗兰克·史蒂文森
