Not much of a story--it was very short and to the point, contained almost no literary conceits--but I heard it on audiolivres--the monk himself reading it. M. Ricard has a strange accent. It sounds like he speaks French as a second language but I've been told that's because as a follower of the buddha, he exerts a tiny second of pausing consideration before he speaks each word. This halting quality makes his voice plangent and the hearing peaceful. A little boy chooses to leave his native Bhutan...
Un peu déçu de ce conte..J'avais trop d'attentes je pense. L'ouvrage se lit rapidement, facile d'accès, c'est un conte initiatique d'un jeune garçon qui devient un homme. Tout est très pudique, tout en retenue qui me laisse sur ma faim.
Pas mon style de lecture
Find a place on a quiet afternoon and you can read this book in one sitting. It delivers a hopeful message as well as timeless buddhist wisdom. The book itself does not come near any work that Herman Hesse has written, but it is otherwise an enjoyable read.This would be a fine book for a young adolescent. It remains kind of naive as it does not expose the reader to the darker aspects of humanity. Nor does the hero endure any significant trial.
Perhaps it's a bias which comes from working on a translation (forces one to take it slower) but I very much appreciate how Ricard involves the various stages of the evolution of intellectual growth, beginning as a seedling with curiosity and budding the insecure attempt and ultimately growing into diligence.
Un très joli conte initiatique, plein de poésie et qui se lit très vite. On ressort de là comme d'un rêve.
un magnifique conte initiatique sur les enseignements bouddhistes.
un conte tibetain initatique. Je ne dois pas être assez avancé pour en apprécier la saveur...
(3,8/5) en vrai. C'est une petite introduction au bouddhisme tibétain. 🤩
Conte spirituelle bien apaisant... "Aussi longtemps qu'existera l'espace,Aussi longtemps qu'il y aura des etres, Puisse-je moi aussi demeurerPour Dissiper la douleur du monde"
