Wikipédia a écrit :Le Mahāyāna Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra (nom sanskrit) ou Sūtra du Nirvana (chinois simplifié : 大般涅盘经 ; chinois traditionnel : 大般涅槃經 ; pinyin : dàbān nièpán jīng ou plus simplement 涅盘经 / 涅槃經, nièpán jīng, coréen : Yeolbangyeong (Hangeul : 열반경, Hanja : Hani) ; japonais : Nehankyō (涅槃経?), tibétain : མྱང་འདས་ཀྱི་མདོ་) est un sūtra du Bouddhisme mahāyāna, originaire du Kōstā āndhra, dans l'État d'Andhra Pradesh, en Inde au Ier siècle puis étendu en Chine au Ve siècle par Dharmakṣema, traducteur chinois d'origine indienne.
Ce sutra m'a l'air d'être utilisé comme une sorte de flambeau sectaire par certains. Un peu comme le sutra du lotus.
J'ai pas trouvé la traduction en français, mais pour ceux qui comprennent l'anglais, on peut en retrouver des extraits
ici.
Donc, attention à ne pas généraliser son interprétation.
h) That the noble Mahaparinirvana Sutra itself is "unique", "the ultimate of all Mahayana discourses", the "most excellent King of sutras [scriptures]", revealing "the very ultimate meaning of all sutras", and that even hearing its words or name can bring about happiness and pleasure and can lay the causal foundations for the attainment of Awakening.
i) That the noble Mahaparinirvana Sutra possesses the power to bring about "benefit, happiness and kindness for all beings" - with the one possible exception of those termed icchantikas, the most spiritually deluded of persons, who disparage the sutra and reject its teachings on the Tathagatagarbha;
Les
icchantikas,
au lourd karma impressionnant, seraient simplement les personnes qui rejettent ce sutra et ses enseignements...
De qui se moque t'on là ?
FA, fait attention quand tu postes des trucs. Les sectes pseudo-bouddhistes, ça existe...
www.nirvanasutra.net/ a écrit : Many Mahayana Buddhists who encounter this final scripture of the Buddha's display veritable symptoms of panic and terror in the face of a term they cannot brook, let alone embrace: the 'True Self'! Such people believe that only the prajna-paramita and sunyata (Emptiness) teachings of the Buddha have final validity and refuse to recognise that the Buddha did in fact teach an ultimate doctrine - that of the Tathagatagarbha ('Buddha Nature') - beyond those earlier forms of Mahayana Dharma. That the Buddha-dhatu doctrine is ultimate and definitive is what the Buddha himself insists upon in the Mahaparinirvana Sutra and other Tathagatagarbha sutras, and yet numerous disappointingly blinkered and pre-conditioned Mahayana Buddhists sadly and unjustly suppress or deny this truth; whether this is out of genuine ignorance of these scriptures or out of sheer dread at what does not fit into their pre-conceived, cosy (for them) yet constricted little world-view is not quite clear.
