Une journée avec le Bouddha

From Espace Sangha de Paris on Sat, 13 May, 2017 - 16:33

Mercredi dernier, c’était la pleine lune de mai, le jour où dans tout le monde bouddhiste l’on célèbre l’Éveil du Bouddha.

A Paris, nous l’avons célébré différemment des années précédentes, non pas le dimanche le plus proche, mais le jour même. Nous avons commencé par une méditation à 7h du matin, pour permettre à ceux qui travaillent de venir avant leur journée. Puis un petit déjeuner partagé, suivie une matinée de lecture d’extraits du Lalilavistara, un long soûtra du Mahâyâna...

A variety of secular-based mindfulness meditation instructions and thoughtful exercises support this process of creating...

The third traditional Buddhist precept in its positive form says ‘with stillness, simplicity and contentment I purify my body’

But stillness, simplicity and contentment are precious commodities in contemporary urban life. The pressure and conditioning surrounding us to do just the opposite is relentless; stay busy, go after sophistication and acquire stuff seems to be the predominant message.
