La Mort Spirituelle

From Centre bouddhiste Triratna de Paris on Fri, 13 Apr, 2012 - 01:00
Quatrième conférence sur le système de pratiques, consacrée à l'étape de mort spirituelle. Basée sur l'unification et l'émotion positive nous entrons vraiment dans ce qui nous permet d'aller au-delà de nous-même, à renoncer aux habitudes qui nous limitent. La mort spirituelle nous permet de toucher la conscience universelle, et plutôt qu'une destruction, elle est une ouverture vers la renaissance spirituelle.
