Pr&#233;sentationLes nombreux d&#233;bats qui animent la communaut&#233; scientifique sur le sujet s&#8217;appuient sur des ex&#233;g&#232;ses parfois concurrentes de textes bouddhiques, tout au long des si&#232;cles. Il nous a paru important de s&#8217;interroger sur cette lecture tout en repla&#231;ant toutefois ces &#233;v&#233;nements dans un contexte plus large, et en &#233;tendant la question &#224; d&#8217;autres aires culturelles marqu&#233;es par la tradition bouddhique&#160;(Chine et Japon), mais aussi &#224; d&#8217;autres sph&#232;res culturelles et religieuses o&#249; le bouddhisme ne pr&#233;vaut pas (les mondes musulman et kurde, l&#8217;Inde et le N&#233;pal).Des bouddhologues, des tib&#233;tologues, des anthropologues, des sociologues et des historiens apporteront leur &#233;clairage sur cette pratique.ProgrammeMonday 14 MayChair: R.
