263-Winter Solstice- Buddhism in daily life

Winter Solstice


Twice a year the sun turns, from the highest to the
lowest position of the sun.


Starting today, the days are getting longer
again, life will soon awaken tentatively.


Already our ancestors revered the sun, myths
were about the special days, special festivals were celebrated.


In the Germanic Julfest the Christmas festival
could have its origin, also the celebrations around the sun god
Sol are celebrated at the winter solstice.


You are a sun in my night. My night is a sun in yours


- Jean Genet - French novelist - 1910 to 1986


Since the sun remains stationary, anything that appears to be the
movement of the sun is more likely due to the movement of the
earth


- Nicolaus Copernicus - Prussian astronomer -
1473 to 1543


Some would also strike at the sun if it offended them


- Herman Melville - US writer, poet and essayist
- 1818 to 1891
