A Peia do Daime. Ayahuasca, da agonia ao êxtase Por Juarez Duarte Bomfim Dácio Mingrone veio, me deu um abraço e me disse ao ouvido: "Hoje eu vi o Mestre Irineu. Ele estava muito bravo e me chicoteou com um enorme jagube"... Mesmo assim, Dácio sentia-se muito orgulhoso de vê-lo pessoalmente lhe disciplinando (Túlio Cícero Viana, n'O Consagrado Defensor). Mestre Raimundo Irineu Serra, Rei Juramidã Há algo comum às diferentes tradições ayahuasqueiras — e a vivência do ayahuasqueiro — que é a experiência de levar peia. Na Doutrina do Santo Daime é denominada de "peia do Daime". Oposto da "miração", ou — na percepção de alguns — caminho quase obrigatório para alcançar a miração, a "peia" significa os possíveis efeitos "dolorosos" do Daime. Enquanto a miração leva o individuo à "revelação" e ao êxtase, a "peia" (expressão usada aqui como sinônimo de surra, castigo) provoca grande mal-estar físico e psíquico. Uma definição da "peia": "As pessoas, no desenrolar do trabalho (religioso

A part-time "shaman" on the outskirts of Tokyo is offering hallucinatory experiences he hopes will help treat depression and spark innovation throughout Japan.

Modern exponents of mindfulness meditation promote the therapeutic effects of bare attention — a sort of non-judgmental, non-discursive attending to the moment-to-moment flow of consciousness. This approach to Buddhist meditation can be traced o Burmese Buddhist reform movements of the first half of the 20th century, and is arguably at odds with more traditional Theravada Buddhist doctrine and meditative practices. But the cultivation of present-centered awareness is not without precedent in Buddhist history; similar innovations arose in medieval Chinese Zen (Chan) and Tibetan Dzogchen. These movements have several things in common. In each case the reforms were, in part, attempts to render Buddhist practice and insight accessible to laypersons unfamiliar with Buddhist philosophy and/or unwilling to adopt a renunciatory lifestyle. In addition, these movements all promised astonishingly quick results. And finally, the innovations in practice were met with suspicion and criticism from traditional Buddhist quarters. Those interested in the therapeutic effects of mindfulness and bare attention are often not aware of the existence, much less the content, of the controversies surrounding these practices in Asian Buddhist history.

The presented work represents a complete ethnobotanical inventory of the entire adult Chácobo population, with interviews and plant collection conducted directly by Chácobo counterparts. Based on previous reports and our preliminary studies, we hypothesized that twenty-first century Chácobo plant use centered on income generation, and that traditional plant use related to household utensils, medicine and traditional crop varieties had almost disappeared.

 

Our study found 331 useful plant species in 241genera of 95 plant families, with leaves, roots and bark being the most commonly used plant parts The comprehensive documentation that these methods enabled completely nullified our initial hypothesis of knowledge loss. Traditional crop varieties are still widely grown and traditional knowledge is alive. Moreover, it is being actively recuperated in certain domains by the younger generation.
