Pratique de la voie tibétaine est une série de causeries données par Chögyam Trungpa Rimpoché, la seule haute autorité spirituelle tibétaine à résider de façon permanente en Occident ; il est considéré, dans le bouddhisme tibétain, comme la onzième incarnation du Trungpa Tulku. A l'issue d'une éducation longue et difficile, il fut initié et couronné comme héritier des lignées de Milarépa et de Padmasambhava. Après l'arrivée des troupes chinoises au Tibet, en 1959, il étudie trois ans en Inde et quatre ans à Oxford. Il fonde ensuite le premier centre bouddhiste tibétain d'étude et de médiation dans l'hémisphère occidental, à Samyê-Ling, en Ecosse. En 1970, Trungpa visite les Etats-Unis et décide d'y fixer sa résidence. Il enseigne à l'université du Colorado. " Un certain nombre de voies de traverse conduisent à une version distordue, égocentrique, de la vie spirituelle. Nous pouvons nous illusionner en pensant que nous nous développons spirituellement, alors qu'en fait nous usons de techniques spirituelles pour renforcer notre ego. Cette distorsion fondamentale mérite le nom de matérialisme spirituel. Chögyam Trungpa

Selon le bouddha, personne ne peut atteindre la santé fondamentale ou l'éveil sans pratiquer la méditation. Les enseignements présentés ici sur le modèle et la technique de méditation donnent les bases dont chaque pratiquant à besoin pour s'éveiller. Chögyam trungpa nous enseigne à abandonner la volonté de mettre la méditation au service de nos ambitions ; ainsi pourrons-nous nous d'étendre d ans l'ouverture. Il nous montre somment la pratique délibérée de l'attention se transforme en conscience attentive : ainsi libérée, nous découvrons le monde de la vision pénétrante que la conscience nous révèle. Nous intégrons alors un subtil dispositif psychologique qui structure automatiquement l'ensemble de notre expérience et nous nous apercevrons que la méditation nous transporte progressivement au-delà de ce dispositif et de l'ego en général, jusqu'à l'expérience de la liberté inconditionnelle.

Presents the bodhisattva teachings of the mahayana. Mahayana practitioners dedicate themselves to the service of all sentient beings, aspiring to save them from sorrow and confusion, and vowing to bring them to perfect liberation. This stage of the path emphasizes the cultivation of wisdom through the view and experience of emptiness, or shunyata, in which all phenomena are seen to be unbounded, completely open, ungraspable, and profound. From the ground of shunyata, compassionate activity is said to arise naturally and spontaneously. In addition to mindfulness and awareness, the mahayanist practices lojong, or "mind training," based on the cultivation of the paramitas, or "transcendent virtues": generosity, discipline, patience, exertion, meditation, and prajna, or "knowledge." As a component of lojong, tonglen, or "sending and taking," is practiced in order to increase maitri, or loving-kindness
