Description
L'enseignement du Dalaï-Lama sur cette question cruciale, issu d'une tradition ancestrale, est aussi structuré que la philosophie occidentale la plus élevée, et nous conduit à la quintessence même du bouddhisme : la vacuité.
At the end of his trip to France in the fall of 1993 - the lectures of which are the subject of Beyond Dogmas - His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama gave a week of teaching at the Vajra Yogini center in the Tarn. This seminar, transcribed here, dealt with the Bodhicharyāvatāra, a poem by the Indian master Śāntideva (7th century). The Dalai Lama had already commented on the first eight chapters during a previous stay in the Dordogne (Comme unclair tears la nuit). He endeavors here to introduce his listeners into the mysteries of the ninth chapter of this "March towards Awakening", which deals with the perfection of wisdom. Responding to the arguments advanced not only by non-Buddhists, but also by other Buddhist philosophical schools, it expresses the view of the proponents of the "Middle Way" on the ultimate nature of phenomena.
The Dalai Lama's teaching on this crucial issue, stemming from an ancestral tradition, is as structured as the highest Western philosophy, and leads us to the very essence of Buddhism: emptiness. (Source: Albin Michel)
