Sujets de méditation

Published 2 May 2012 | By Saut de l'Ange

Dans l’ART DE LA MEDITATION de Matthieu Ricard,
nous sommes invités à méditer sur les sujets suivants :

LA NATURE EPHEMERE DE TOUTE CHOSE
Le changement est inscrit dans la nature de tous les phénomènes du monde animé ou inanimé.
Comprendre cela nous évite de nous accrocher aux choses comme si elles devaient durer éternellement.
Sinon, tôt ou tard, notre attachement se traduit par la souffrance puisqu’elle est en porte-à-faux avec la réalité.De plus, si nous prenons conscience de la nature fondamentalement changeante de toute chose :
- Comment pourrions-nous croire qu’une être est foncièrement mauvais ?
- Comment pourrions-nous croire qu’une chose est à jamais désirable ou haïssable ?
- Comment pourrions-nous percevoir quelque chose comme étant intrinsèquement “mien” ?
- Comment pourrions-nous envisager un “ego” permanent au sein du flot continuellement changeant de notre conscience ?

La réflexion sur la nature transitoire des êtres et des choses, sur l’impermanence permet d’apprécier la valeur du temps, de se rendre compte que chaque seconde de vie est précieuse, alors que d’ordinaire nous laissons le temps s’écouler comme de l’or fin entre les doigts.

Pensons à la mort inéluctable mais dont l’heure est incertaine
Qu’est-ce qui compte vraiment dans l’existence ?
Est-ce que j’utilise le temps qui me reste à vivre de la manière la plus fructueuse pour mon bien et celui des autres, par rapport à mon moi le plus profond ?

“Méditations” au Mont Saint Michel

Published 1 August 2004 | By Saut de l'Ange

Un parcours spirituel nocturne

Il s’agit de vivre le site dans des conditions privilégiées et découvrir des oeuvres artistiques. “Méditations” donne l’accasion de proposer un autre regard sur ce patrimoine religieux exceptionnel en mêlant savoir et l’émotion, chacun interprétant et réagissant à l’environnement proposé avec sa propre sensibilité.

Cette promenade architecturale au coeur de ce site – inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco – joue sur les contrastes d’ambiance et de lumière, interpelle le visiteur au gré de rencontres et des atmosphères : Une composition musicale anime l’abbatiale, une autre résonne dans le réfectoire de la Merveille avec une série d’oeuvres contemporaines…

Ces oeuvres s’inscrivent comme des éléments de médiation dans des lieux intimes qui favorisent l’intériorité et la réflexion. L’abbaye devient alors plus accessible dans sa complexité.

Cette balade spirituelle se termine dans les jardins de la Merveille…
