Sagesses Bouddhistes: Traité de la continuité suprême du grand véhicule, un texte exceptionnel du bouddhisme tibétain
Traité de la continuité suprême du grand véhicule, un texte exceptionnel du bouddhisme tibétain

Invité : Christian Charrier

Nous avons tous la Nature de Bouddha : énoncée par un traité du 4e siècle de notre ère, cette vérité a passionné des générations de pratiquants, et suscité débats et exégèses durant des siècles. Source d’émerveillement pour tous ceux qui ont pu le lire, ce texte fondamental pour le bouddhisme tibétain est aujourd’hui disponible en français, grâce à l’immense travail d’un traducteur, Christian Charrier, qui sera notre invité deux dimanches, afin de nous éclairer sur la toute puissance de ce texte magnifique. Dans cette première émission, nous découvrirons l’histoire mystérieuse de ce traité, apparu en Inde au VIIe siècle, puis disparu, et réapparu des siècles plus tard, pour devenir une référence dans le bouddhisme tibétain.

As many as twelve subtraditions grew out from there, the best known being the Karma Kagyu, the Drikung, and the Drukpa. Tib. བཀའ་བརྒྱུད་
