Filleadh John, an mac níos óg, ó Londain go Éireann leis a leannán cailín nua, Rai. Tá sí ó theaghlach gorm a d'aistrigh ó An Chéinia go dtí an Bhreatain. Tá siad ag fhóghairt do gach anois ar an dá Búdaíochtái.
Osclaíonn coimhlint ina teach ar feadh Nollaig. Cruinníonn na Shúillebháin ar chéile mar is gnách. Nach bhfuil siad go leir ar sásta a chloisteáil ar an nuacht ó John agus Ria.
Bheul, léigh mé in aice leis a deireadh uaidh faoi comhtharlú ó bhéal. Tá fhíos agam, ar ndóigh, go raibh 'Teamhair' sa Ghaeilge agus na teangacha na hIndia dá. Insíonn Ó hAnluain faoi seo, go cuí.
Is Teamhair (ghlas nó bhán) an bandía na trócaire ar Hiondúchaí agus Búdaíochtaí. Is Cnoc na Teamhreach suiómh dóiteán i gContae na Mhí ag imeall na hAbhainn na Bóinne. Is maith liom an chomhtharlú ársa seo.
Green Tara.
I was writing a review of the 2003 drama The Buddhist of Castleknock by Jim O'Hanlon recently. It tells of the Sullivan family in a suburb of Dublin. I believe that the dramatist put into the form of a comedy-drama for inspiration his own marriage to a woman from South Africa.
John, the younger son, returns from London to Ireland with his new girlfriend, Rai. She is from a black family who moved from Kenya to Britain. They announce that are now both Buddhists.
Conflict opens in the house during Christmas. The Sullivans gather together as usual. They are not all happy to hear the news from John and Ria.
Well, I read near the end of it a verbal coincidence. I know, of course, that "Tara" may be in Irish and the languages of India both. O'Hanlon tells about this, fittingly.
Tara (green or white) is the goddess of compassion for Hindus and Buddhists. The Hill of Tara is a ritual site in Co. Meath around the River Boyne. I like this ancient coincidence.
