Padmasambhava Et Les Dieux Et Démons Du Tibet

From Centre bouddhiste Triratna de Paris on Sat, 25 Sep, 2021 - 00:00
Selon la vie et la légende de Padmasambhava, il n'a réussi à implanter le bouddhisme au Tibet qu'en commençant par subjuguer les démons qui y régnaient. Mais que représentaient-ils ? Et qui sont les démons de notre temps ? Que faire avec ? Ujumani explore comment les démons du matérialisme (et sa cohorte, le consumérisme, le scepticisme, le cynisme et l'indifférence), du choix, et du narcissisme nous empêchent d'avancer, et comment, par notre pratique spirituelle, nous pouvons transformer leur énergie délétère en énergie au service de l'éveil.
