Le Chemin de l'Éveil
Each of us is awakened in power, the training of the animal shows the stages of the path we must travel to reach the waking state.
Le Chemin de l'Éveil (The path of awakening) is explained by buffalo training in Chan Buddhism, horse training in Taoism, and elephant training in Tibetan Buddhism. Certain Buddhist and Tibetan texts employ reasoned and logical explanations, while others use metaphors. Each one of us awaits our own awakening, and the training of an animal illustrates the steps of the trail along which we must travel to reach the state of awakening. Numerous black and white illustrations. Book published with the support of the Centre National des Lettres.
