Matthieu Ricard est non seulement l’ambassadeur le plus populaire du bouddhisme en France, mais aussi le meilleur messager entre cette philosophie et les Occidentaux, de plus en plus nombreux, qui s’y intÃressent. Partout où il passe, on lui demande : " Vous qui êtes moine, expliquez-nous, qu’est-ce que la mÃditation ? À quoi ça sert ? Comment s’y prend-on pour mÃditer ? Qu’en retire-t-on ? " À toutes ces questions complexes il rÃpond ici avec un vrai sens de la pÃdagogie.Si l’art de mÃditer est un cheminement que même les plus grands sages apprennent tout au long de leur vie, s’y initier au quotidien transforme dÃjà notre regard sur nous-mêmes et sur le monde. En trois chapitres très concrets (" Pourquoi mÃditer ? ", " Sur quoi ? ", " Comment ? "), Matthieu Ricardouvre les voies de la mÃditation au plus nÃophyte des lecteurs. À chaque Ãtape de son enseignement, il s’appuie sur des exemples, des images qui permettent de passer du concept à la pratique. Riche de sa double culture, de son expÃrience de moine, de sa connaissance des textes sacrÃs, de sa frÃquentation des maÃtres, il montre le caractère universel d’une mÃditation fondÃe sur l’amour altruiste, la compassion, le dÃveloppement des qualitÃs humaines. Et les bienfaits Ãvidents que l’exercice de la mÃditation peut apporter à chacun dans notre sociÃtà ultra-individualiste et matÃrialiste.

A moving journey into the heart of Buddhist spirituality and into the daily life and festivals of people in the Tibetan interior."Matthieu's spiritual life and his camera are one and the same, and it is from this unity that these fleeting yet eternal images spring."—Henri Cartier-BressonMatthieu Ricard has lived in Nepal for over thirty years. During this time he has forged close ties with some of Buddhism's greatest spiritual masters, from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, for whom he is the official French interpreter.Ricard's status as a monk and his knowledge of the Tibetan people and culture have opened many doors to him: he has been able to follow pilgrimages made by the great lamas of eastern Tibet; to bear witness to the artistry of wood-engravers at the gigantic, mysterious Dege printing press; and to meet hermit monks in extremely remote regions of Kham. These experiences and many others are recorded here in 191 sublime color photographs.

Le grand livre de Matthieu Ricard sur l'altruisme : en cette période de doutes tous azimuts, un sujet urgent, et qui nous concerne tous.   Abreuvés d'images violentes, confrontés à une société en crise, on n'imagine pas la force de la bienveillance, le pouvoir de transformation positive qu'une véritable attitude altruiste peut avoir sur nos vies au plan individuel et, partant, sur la société tout entière. Moine bouddhiste depuis près de quarante ans, Matthieu Ricard, lui, expérimente les vertus de l'altruisme au quotidien. Au carrefour de la philosophie, de la psychologie, des neurosciences, de l'économie, de l'écologie, son Plaidoyer pour l'altruisme est la somme d'années de recherches, de lectures, d'expériences, d'observation et de réflexion. Avec le sens de la pédagogie qui le caractérise et toujours en s'appuyant sur des exemples très concrets, l'auteur de Plaidoyer pour le bonheur démontre point par point que l'altruisme n'est ni une utopie ni un vœu pieux, mais une nécessité, voire une urgence, dans notre monde de plus en plus interdépendant à l'heure de la mondialisation. Un essai passionnant, inspiré par un humanisme et une lucidité qui emportent l'adhésion.

Un message enthousiasmant. » Psychologies Magazine

Jean Francois-Revel, a pillar of French intellectual life in our time, became world famous for his challenges to both Communism and Christianity. Twenty-seven years ago, his son, Matthieu Ricard, gave up a promising career as a scientist to study Tibetan Buddhism -- not as a detached observer but by immersing himself in its practice under the guidance of its greatest living masters.Meeting in an inn overlooking Katmandu, these two profoundly thoughtful men explored the questions that have occupied humankind throughout its history. Does life have meaning? What is consciousness? Is man free? What is the value of scientific and material progress? Why is there suffering, war, and hatred? Their conversation is not merely abstract: they ask each other questions about ethics, rights, and responsibilities, about knowledge and belief, and they discuss frankly the differences in the way each has tried to make sense of his life.Utterly absorbing, inspiring, and accessible, this remarkable dialogue engages East with West, ideas with life, and science with the humanities, providing wisdom on how to enrich the way we live our lives.

The author of the international bestseller Happiness makes a passionate case for altruism--and why we need it now more than ever.In Happiness, Matthieu Ricard demonstrated that true happiness is not tied to fleeting moments or sensations, but is an enduring state of soul rooted in mindfulness and compassion for others. Now he turns his lens from the personal to the global, with a rousing argument that altruism--genuine concern for the well-being of others--could be the saving grace of the 21st century. It is, he believes, the vital thread that can answer the main challenges of our time: the economy in the short term, life satisfaction in the mid-term, and environment in the long term. Ricard's message has been taken up by major economists and thinkers, including Dennis Snower, Amartya Sen, Joseph Stiglitz, and George Soros.Matthieu Ricard makes a robust and passionate case for cultivating altruistic love and compassion as the best means for simultaneously benefitting ourselves and our society. It's a fresh outlook on an ardent struggle--and one that just might make the world a better place.

Nous aspirons tous au bonheur, mais comment le trouver, le retenir, et même le dÃfinir ?

Il examine point par point les facteurs extÃrieurs et intÃrieurs qui renforcent ou diminuent notre satisfaction profonde : l’amour et la bontÃ, mais aussi la haine et la jalousie ; la joie et la tristesse, mais aussi l’optimisme et le pessimisme, la compassion ou l’Ãgoïsme… Un essai passionnant qui, à travers l’enseignement bouddhiste, montre à chacun le chemin du bonheur authentique, et les moyens de l’atteindre.

Ce recueil débordant de vie et de couleurs est une offrande de lumière et de beauté à tous ceux qui poseront leurs yeux dessus.
