LA VIE DE BOUDDHA - Un film de Martin Meissonnier - 90'
Il y a plus de 2 500 ans que le Bouddha Sakyamuni a disparu de la vue du monde en atteignant le Grand Nirvana. Aujourd'hui, la moitié de la planète est influencée par la pensée de celui qui fut le premier et le plus grand des révolutionnaires.
Mais qui était véritablement l'homme qu'on a appelé le Bouddha ?

Ce documentaire nous entraîne sur ses traces, dans les lieux même où il vécut. En confrontant les légendes transmises par la tradition orale depuis des millénaires, les récentes découvertes archéologiques et les sources historiques, ce film retrace la vie du Bouddha Sakyamuni et tente de mieux comprendre sa pensée.


Buddha's life - A movie by Martin Meissonnier - 90'
It is two thousand five hundred and forty-four years since the Buddha Sakhyamuni departed this world, having attained Nirvana, the highest level of enlightenment. Although over half of humanity has been influenced by Buddha's ideas, his life-story has been interpreted in various ways. Our knowledge of Buddha stems mainly from the Tibetan exegetical tradition. But the facts of his life are less well-known and their significance has often been distorted by the religious establishment.

Rather than taking a hagiographical approach, this documentary attempts to find out who Buddha really was. He emerges as an anarchist visionary who attempted to shatter the caste system in which India is still imprisoned, forbade his followers to make representations of him (the earliest image of Buddha dates from seven centuries after his death), and invented the law of cause and effect, whose relevance scientists have recently rediscovered.
The Life of Buddha sets out to re-examine the life and doctrines of Buddha in the places where he himself lived. His founding texts are explained by lay Buddhists - peasants, children and wise men - and by monks, in the very places where Buddha lived and taught 2,500 years ago.
