当人间的美好愿望还没有成为现实的时候,当天堂的理想还停留于圣职买卖的阶段,伟大的诗人但丁(Alighieri Dante,1265-1321)已经开始不安了。欧洲大陆的天主教团的整体腐败,根本无力将天国的诺言在人间兑现。最优秀的人必然很快醒悟到:抵达理想王国的道路无法由僧侣阶层来引领,而必须由一己的生命来铺就。于是就有了但丁的灵魂漫游地狱、炼狱,最后抵达光明澄澈的天堂的伟大历程;于是就有了人类历史上最杰出的史诗之一——《神曲》。这是一条关于灵魂秘密成长和壮大的美好路途,是一条伟大的精神朝圣之路。
When the good wishes of humankind have not yet come true, when the ideal of heaven is still at the stage of priesthood trading, the great poet Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) has begun to feel uneasy. The overall corruption of the Catholic communities on the European continent has no power to honor the promise of the kingdom of heaven. The best men must soon wake up: the path to the ideal kingdom can not be led by the monks, but must be paved by their own lives. Then there was the great journey of Dante’s soul roaming hell, purgatory, and finally arriving at the bright and clear paradise; thus there was one of the most outstanding epics in human history, Divine Comedy. This is a wonderful journey about the secret growth and expansion of the soul. It is a great spiritual pilgrimage.
