Customer Review

Herve Clerc is a renowned journalist, it helps to a certain quality of writing and a certain ethical positioning vis-à-vis the information as knowledge. There is a remarkable erudition with a knowledge of ancient texts, but it appears that over the book and we are grateful to the author for giving us through a demonstration of its culture, to make room for experience in the concreteness of our daily human facts, our soul movements, our positions. It does not sell or sale Buddhism, but gives us to think and feel, realize and clarify both the worldview than that of being. Some might misunderstand the circumstances of his "illumination" that one only discovers the end of the book, yet Sogyal Rinpoche (Tibetan Book of Life and Death), Patrul Rinpoche (The path great perfection) or the Dalai Lama have already signaled that it could already experience this clear light in a simple sneeze.

Each concept is clearly described, here and now, within the west, I would say the corner of the Place de la Bourse (Paris) or at the foot of the statue of Pope Gerber in Aurillac and between breaking with the quitch and good Aloi in favor of a quest for clarity and undogmatic sharing a way of liberation ....

This is a test that puts to work the mind as much as it soothes and engages the heart, in a style and a unique angle perspective and well coming. Reading is easy, directly addresses inside of being without it appearing neither complacent nor masturbatory self, or ideological. The most paradoxical aspects of Buddhism, the gap between Western and Asian approaches, conceptual apparent oddities or practices are discussed, enlightened, put in their place ...

An author and a book that make a world of good for everyone. I wish you to draw as much satisfaction in reading than me.
