Abstract

Buddhism is popularly seen as a religion stressing the truth of impermanence. How, then, to account for the long-standing veneration, in Asian Buddhist communities, of bone fragments, hair, teeth, and other bodily bits said to come from the historic Buddha? Early European and American scholars of religion, influenced by a characteristic Protestant bias against relic worship, declared such practices to be superstitious and fraudulent, and far from the true essence of Buddhism. John Strong's book, by contrast, argues that relic veneration has played a serious and integral role in Buddhist traditions in South and Southeast Asia-and that it is in no way foreign to Buddhism. The book is structured around the life story of the Buddha, starting with traditions about relics of previous buddhas and relics from the past lives of the Buddha Sakyamuni. It then considers the death of the Buddha, the collection of his bodily relics after his cremation, and stories of their spread to different parts of Asia. The book ends with a consideration of the legend of the future parinirva&ndot;a (extinction) of the relics prior to the advent of the next Buddha, Maitreya. Throughout, the author does not hesitate to explore the many versions of these legends and to relate them to their ritual, doctrinal, artistic, and social contexts.

Abstract

La crise que nous vivons n'est pas simplement économique et financière, mais aussi philosophique et spirituelle. Elle renvoie à des interrogations universelles : Qu'est ce qui rend l'être humain heureux ? Qu'est-ce qui peut être considéré comme un progrès véritable ? Quelles sont les conditions d'une vie sociale harmonieuse ? Contre une vision purement matérialiste de l'homme et du monde, Socrate, Jésus et Bouddha sont trois maîtres de vie. Une vie qu'ils n'enferment jamais dans une conception close et dogmatique. Leur parole a traversé les siècles sans prendre une ride, et par-delà leurs divergences, ils s'accordent sur l'essentiel : l'existence humaine est précieuse et chacun, d'où qu'il vienne, est appelé à chercher la vérité, à se connaître dans sa profondeur, à devenir libre, à vivre en paix avec lui-même et avec les autres. Un message humaniste et spirituel, qui répond sans détour à la question essentielle : pourquoi je vis ?
