Vers une société éveillée. Une approche bouddhiste d'un vivre ensemble responsable et solidaire

By Christoph Eberhard

Book Description

In a world increasingly shaped by uniformity and globalization, Christoph Eberhard presents a thoughtful exploration of how intercultural dialogue can offer pathways to genuine understanding and collective awakening. This reflective work examines what it truly means to step outside our familiar perspectives, to practice cultural disarmament, and to open ourselves authentically to others.

Drawing from twenty years of contemplation, Eberhard weaves together insights from Tibetan Buddhist foundations with contemporary questions about responsibility, courage, and peaceful coexistence. Rather than promoting any single tradition as superior, he invites readers to consider how different wisdom traditions might meet, inspire one another, and collectively address the challenges of our modern era.

The book challenges Western-centric viewpoints by demonstrating that no hierarchy exists among spiritual and cultural traditions. Instead, Eberhard suggests that our current moment calls for these diverse approaches to encounter each other meaningfully, each tradition reflecting deeply on itself while learning from others.

Through four interconnected studies, this work offers fresh perspectives on how intercultural and interfaith dialogue can serve as tools for healing our fractured world. Eberhard's approach emphasizes that genuine dialogue requires courage to distance ourselves from our own assumptions and the willingness to embrace vulnerability in service of deeper understanding.

For readers seeking to expand their spiritual horizons while engaging with pressing social questions, this book provides a bridge between contemplative wisdom and practical responsibility.
