Prêtrise, pouvoir et autorité en Himalaya
Auteur(s) : BOUILLIER (Véronique) et TOFFIN (Gérard) (eds.)
Editeur : EHESS
Hindouisme, bouddhisme, chamanisme coexistent en Himalaya. Loin de se juxtaposer simplement, ces mondes religieux s'influencent. De cette complexité, les prêtres sont le témoignage. Comment se situent-ils par rapport à la tradition dont ils se réclament ? De quelle nature sont leurs pouvoirs ? Sur quel héritage s'ancre leur autorité ? Comment se partagent-ils le champ du sacré ? Ces questions sont soulevées ici à propos de plusieurs populations représentatives de la variété ethnique et culturelle de l'arc himalayen. Derrière la diversité des solutions qu'elles reçoivent, un fonds commun, une dimension autochtone, dominés par les divinités maîtresses du sol et les forces maléfiques, se laissent percevoir.

Voyages et aventures de l'esprit
Auteur(s) : DAVID-NEEL (Alexandra)
Editeur : Albin Michel
Voici des textes inédits d'Alexandra David Neel, retrouvés par Marie-Madeleine Peyronnet et Marc de Smedt dans sa maison de Digne où elle termina ses jours en 1969. Ce recueil est d'autant plus intéressant qu'il couvre tout le champ de son existence aventureuse, de la Belgique à la Tunisie, de la Corée au Japon, du Sikkim à l'Indochine, de l'Inde au Tibet. Toute sa philosophie se trouve exposée ici, ainsi que sa réflexion spirituelle alimentée par la rencontre de grands maîtres et ermites en Orient et par les textes sacrés qu'elle traduisait ellemême.
A la suite de ces vingt-deux écrits essentiels, on lira le vibrant hommage posthume qu'adressa l'actuel Dalaï-Lama en 1982 à cette grande dame de l'esprit.
