Le Sutra du Lotus: La porte universelle du bodhisattva Avalokitesvara – Commentaire

妙法蓮華經觀世音菩薩普門品講話 (The Lotus Sutra’s Universal Gate of Avalokitesvara Commentary)
Le visage compatissant d’Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, mieux connu sous le nom de Guanyin en chinois, est une source d’inspiration et de dévotion depuis des siècles. La porte universelle d’Avalokiteśvara est le récit scripturaire du Bouddha de ce sage légendaire et de son pouvoir de se manifester sous toutes les formes nécessaires pour aider tous les êtres. Ce livre de chant comprend également un commentaire ligne par ligne, qui dévoile les descriptions fantastiques du sutra et les relie à la pratique personnelle et aux vastes enseignements bouddhistes.

Trees Have Roots; Waters Have Sources

Trees have their roots, and people have their origins. As hu­man beings, we must endeavor to increase joy in the world for the sake of everyone in the world, and we also must ensure that life will sprout flowers and bear fruits as strong and stur­dy as the peach. “Mother” is the source of life for every person, and she is also the harbor on which each person depends for their first contact with the human world. The conduct and vir­tue of the world’s mothers in compassionately dealing with the world and wisely managing the household affairs all become the nutrients for life during our time on Earth.
