Another thing to keep in mind as you go through this book, or the audio recordings that are available as a playlist on Tisarana Buddhist Monastery's YouTube channel, is that the teachings offered by the Forest Sangha teachers, such as Ajahn Viradhammo, are spoken contemporaneously without notes. In that way, the talks are a response to the needs of the time and listeners. But, as you’ll discover, the themes are universal because the very nature of Dhamma is akāliko (timeless)."

Ajahn Sumedho est un moine de la Tradition de la forêt. Il fut ordonné en Thaïlande, à Nong Khai, en 1967 et s’étant rendu peu après à Wat Pah Pong, il fut le premier disciple occidental d’Ajahn Chah. Après avoir passé une dizaine d’années auprès de son maître, ce dernier lui proposa d’aller en Angleterre à l’invitation de l’English Sangha Trust qui invitait des moines venus d’Asie pour vivre, pratiquer et enseigner le bouddhisme de la tradition Theravada.

Ses enseignements clairs et directs attirèrent rapidement l’attention d’un grand nombre de personnes venues de toutes parts, et en 1979 fut créé Chithurst, le premier monastère de la Tradition de la forêt en occident.

Ce livre est un des premiers recueils d’enseignements qu’Ajahn Sumedho donna à la communauté de moines et de nonnes ainsi qu’aux résidents laïcs au cours de plusieurs retraites d’hiver entre 1979 et 1989. Il offre au lecteur un vaste éventail des aspects les plus importants du Bouddhisme et, par son approche approfondie de la pratique, il nous transmet une vision limpide du chemin du Dhamma. [...]

This story is intended to be a partner to the two novels ‘The Pilgrim Kamanita ~ A Legendary Romance’, written by Karl Gjellerup in 1906, and ‘The Killer ~ Mara and the Mangala, Book I’, written by myself, published in 2019.

This present book exists as a tale that both stands on its own and serves as a continuation of the stories in the previous volumes. There is no need to have read the earlier books in order to make sense of this one; however, should the reader wish to go to the source from which many of the characters and scenes of this tale have sprung, the previously published books can be found here and here.

In the tradition of such eminent authors as Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Alexandre Dumas, the present book is being released as a serial novel, one chapter every fortnight, over the years 2025-26. It is planned that, once all the chapters have been released, an edition of the whole story will be published as a single book.

One of the worst things that can happen to a tale to be read for pleasure is to have it surrounded by footnotes and appendices. This is true; but it’s also true that some readers might like to know: ‘Did this come from the Buddha?’ ‘Where can I find the rest of that quote?’ ‘Did that really happen!?’

An appendix of notes and references has therefore been created, which outlines the sources of the derived material that has been used. The main body of the text is not marked in any way to indicate these notes; however, if the reader is curious about a certain passage, they can go to the end of the chapter, look for the page and quotation in question, and see if there’s a comment or reference for it. In this way, if one just wants to read the story and ignore the rest one can easily do so but, if one is interested in finding out more and checking the facts, the origins are mostly outlined there.

Also, gentle reader, please note that the original author (Karl Gjellerup) switched freely between using Sanskrit (the language of the Northern Buddhist and Hindu scriptures) and Pali (the language of the Southern Buddhist scriptures) during the course of his foundational tale. In our efforts to be true to his style this mixture of usage has been maintained in the two subsequent volumes.

La conscience possède la qualité d’un miroir. On peut y accéder à tout moment, devenir conscient de l'esprit et du corps tels qu'ils sont à cet instant précis. Peut-être que la conscience reflète la sensation d'endormissement ou d’ignorance, la sensation de froid ou de chaud, de lourdeur ou de légèreté. La conscience contemplative peut voir les choses, y compris celles qui nous collent à la peau. Elle reflète les sensations d'aversion, de colère, de gentillesse, les sentiments agréables et désagréables – toutes sortes de choses. Cette qualité qui permet de voir, de connaître cet esprit contemplatif est neutre. Elle- même ne juge ni ne critique ; la conscience reflète simplement que l'esprit est en train de juger et de critiquer. C'est ce dont parle le Bouddha quand il dit que le Dhamma « apparaît ici et maintenant » ; pas demain, pas hier, mais ici et maintenant dans le moment présent. Le Dhamma est en dehors du temps – il n'en dépend pas.
