Sustentar uma postura escutadeira: uma pesquisa entre cultivo de silêncio e partilha da palavra

Abstract

This research-intervention work addresses some questions on an attentive listening and learning, as well as on a sensitivity through the cultivation of silence in Buddhist attention/awareness meditation practices. In the first part of the research, in interlocutions proposed by Deleuze, Arseniev, Rilke and Varela, it is discussed with the supposed separation between the self and the other and the relations with knowledge marked by representative processes. Moreover, here, it is pointed out the arising relations of its co-emergent production – inseparability between subjects and the world – and situated knowledge as the production of realities and not simply verifying pre-existing facts. Then, we performed an analysis of Buddhist attention/awareness meditation (shamatha/vipassana) in the interlocutions with Jetsumna Tenzin Palmo, Chagdud Rinpoche, Thich Nhat Hanh, Allan Wallace, Lama Padma Samten, Claire Petitmengin, Varela, Thompson and Rosch, among others, besides analyzing capitalistic appropriations of contemporary meditation practices. This chapter was concluded by stating the need to anchor meditation exercises in an ethical direction of practicing attitudes and thoughts. It is also shared here some scenes of silence workshops and the cultivation of Buddhist meditation of attention/conscience through a public notice of a High School scientific initiation (Edition 14/2014 of FAPES) at the State School of Elementary and Secondary Education (EEEFM), named Santo Antônio, between 2015 and 2017 in São Mateus-ES and in this path we narrate some scenes as clues for an education anchored in an individual and collective ethical transformation.
