Abstract

Selon la tradition dzogchen tibétaine – enseignement spirituel qui transcende toute forme religieuse particulière et vise à transmettre une connaissance complète des conditions de l’être humain – il arrive qu’à la mort d’un maître particulièrement accompli, son corps rétrécisse puis disparaisse, le souvent au bout de quelques jours, pour se fondre en lumière. Ce phénomène est l’un des plus fascinants qui soient et sa réalité peut à bon droit susciter l’incrédulité. Pour en avoir le cœur net, Francis Tiso s’est rendu au Tibet pour mener une enquête à propos d’un cas récent, celui du yogi khenpo A Chö, décédé en 1998, en interrogeant les témoins de sa disparition et en rencontrant les maîtres qui l’avaient connu.D’autre part, il s’est également intéressé à l’histoire de cette doctrine depuis les origines de la tradition dzogchen et aux résonances que ce phénomène peut entretenir avec la disparition du corps de Jésus-Christ et la promesse faite aux chrétiens de ressusciter en un corps de lumière. Évagre le Pontique, actif à la fin du IVe siècle, est l’auteur de textes majeurs à ce sujet. Or il se trouve que le christianisme syriaque a accordé une grande importance à ses enseignements contemplatifs, transmis le long de la Route de la soie jusqu'en Chine, où on le connaissait pour cette raison sous le nom de « religion de la lumière ».L’ouvrage explore ainsi l’hypothèse vertigineuse de rencontres et d’échanges autour de pratiques visionnaires, entre chrétiens et bouddhistes, manichéens, musulmans et hindous, au VIIIe siècle, dans des oasis d’Asie centrale, aux confins des mondes perse, indien, tibétain et chinois. La tradition dzogchen serait née de ces rencontres, proposant à ses adeptes comme réalisation ultime cette extraordinaire manière de mourir. L’enquête originale et foisonnante menée par Francis Tiso bouleverse les cloisonnements traditionnels et ouvre des perspectives nouvelles, tant sur l’histoire des religions qu’à propos des pratiques spirituelles les plus secrètes.

Abstract

The Great Perfection (rDzogs chen in Tibetan) is a philosophical and meditative teaching. Its inception is attributed to Vairocana, one of the first seven Tibetan Buddhist monks ordained at Samye in the eight century A.D. The doctrine is regarded among Buddhists as the core of the teachings adhered to by the Nyingmapa school whilst similarly it is held to be the fundamental teaching among the Bonpos, the non-Buddhist school in Tibet. After a historical introduction to Tibetan Buddhism and the Bon, the author deals with the legends of Vairocana (Part I), analysing early documents containing essential elements of the doctrine and comparing them with the Ch'an tradition. He goes on to explore in detail the development of the doctrine in the tenth and eleventh centuries A.D. (Part II). The Tantric doctrines that play an important role are dealt with, as are the rDzogs chen theories in relation to the other major Buddhist doctrines. Different trends in the rDzogs chen tradition are described in Part III. The author has drawn his sources mainly from early unpublished documents which throw light on the origins and development, at the same time also using a variety of sources which enabled him to explicate the crucial position which the doctrine occupies in Tibetan religions.

Abstract

World-renowned Buddhist scholar Herbert V. Guenther here offers the first comprehensive study of the rDzogs-chen or Ati tradition of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. Matrix of Mystery explores man's ability to preserve as well as transmit essential insights into the structure of reality.Utilizing a key root Buddhist scripture, the Guhyagarbha ("Matrix of Mystery"), along with dozens of commentarial Tibetan textual sources, Guenther presents the most profound teachings of the Buddhist tradition, which represent the culmination of religious thought and practice in Tibet. In relating these teachings in modern scientific and humanistic perspectives, he demonstrates how, in many cases, the traditional religious and modern secular perspectives on the nature of reality interface.Professor Guenther discusses the mandala and the deities that reside therein; the organizing principles of body, speech, mind, quality, and action, the three bodies of the buddha (trikaya); the inseparability of prajna and skillful means; and the complex field of Buddhist iconography. Throughout, quotations from numerous Tibetan sources are used to illustrate various teachings. His book will appeal to any serious student of Tibetan Buddhism.

Abstract

Ritual manuals are among the most common and most personal forms of Buddhist literature. Since at least the late fifth century, individual practitioners—including monks, nuns, teachers, disciples, and laypeople—have kept texts describing how to perform the daily rites. These manuals represent an intimate counterpart to the canonical sutras and the tantras, speaking to the lived experience of Buddhist practice.Conjuring the Buddha offers a history of early tantric Buddhist ritual through the lens of the Tibetan manuscripts discovered near Dunhuang on the ancient Silk Road. Jacob P. Dalton argues that the spread of ritual manuals offered Buddhists an extracanonical literary form through which to engage with their tradition in new and locally specific ways. He suggests that ritual manuals were the literary precursors to the tantras, crucial to the emergence of esoteric Buddhism. Examining a series of ninth- and tenth-century tantric manuals from Dunhuang, Dalton uncovers lost moments in the development of rituals such as consecration, possession, sexual yoga, the Great Perfection, and the subtle body practices of the winds and channels. He also traces the use of poetic language in ritual manuals, showing how at pivotal moments, metaphor, simile, rhythm, and rhyme were deployed to evoke carefully sculpted affective experiences. Offering an unprecedented glimpse into the personal practice of early tantric Buddhists, Conjuring the Buddha provides new insight into the origins and development of the tantric tradition.

Abstract

"The notion of effortlessness is central to the self-understanding of the Tibetan contemplative tradition known as Dzogchen. This book explores this key notion from a variety of perspectives, highlighting the distinctive role it plays in the Dzogchen approach's doctrinal architecture and meditative programme. The book's focus is on the early development of the Dzogchen tradition, especially as codified in a set of hitherto unstudied commentaries by the 10th-century scholar and meditation master Nubchen Sangye Yeshe. A full annotated translation of the commentaries is provided, along with an edition of the Tibetan texts on facing pages"--
