Interviews
with Dom Robert le Gall and Lama Jigmé Rinpoché
Fayard, February 2001 – Le Livre de Poche, May 2003
Presentation
What can be said about God or the Absolute? Who are Buddha and Jesus, and what is the essence of their message? What is humanity, and what is the meaning of life? Is happiness the ultimate goal of human existence? How can evil be explained? Is there anything after death? How should one pray and meditate? What constitutes Christian and Buddhist salvation? What are the essential similarities and differences between these two great spiritual paths? It is these questions, fascinating for those interested in the mystery of life and human destiny, that two spiritual masters, one Buddhist and one Christian, deeply rooted in their respective traditions, attempt to answer.
Organized by Frédéric Lenoir, this unique dialogue between a Benedictine monk and a Tibetan lama also offers a much deeper understanding, in terms accessible to the uninitiated, of the spiritual depths of Catholicism and Tibetan Buddhism.
