Are East and West, as emphasized on many occasions, be sentenced to not ever? Is the dialogue between both cultures impossible? Jacques Scheuer attempts to answer these questions through twelve scans, in as many chapters, which trace a movement of return. The reader will not find here an academic exposition of the history of Buddhism and its various branches and a comparison between two products, Buddhism and Christianity, made available to the consumer, but in each scan, a word, a parable, an image or a character in the Buddhist tradition we invite you to discover the spiritual world.
