Le sutra du coeur - Mont Salève - 2019
OVERVIEW
- Also called simply the Mother, in reference to the wisdom that gives rise to each of the Enlightenments of the three vehicles, the Wisdom Sūtra is a fundamental teaching given by the Buddha during the intermediate cycle, at Vulture Peak in Rājagṛha. It comes in four forms, and this is the most condensed version that Rinpoche comments on here. It is recited and meditated upon, in different languages, accross all the countries where the Mahāyāna has spread.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THESE TEACHINGS?
The Wisdom Sūtra has four aspects, which Rinpoche elucidates with extraordinary precision, to facilitate our recitation and meditation:
-
- Direct theme, which comprises the main direct theme, such as emptiness, and the secondary direct theme, like the five mahāyāna paths, bodhichitta, the first five perfections, great love and great compassion)

- Hidden theme, which includes three aspects:
