Process of “conversion” to Tibetan Buddhism: a laboratory of religious modernity
CEIFR notebooks
Compared to other conversion processes that we can observe in France, let us immediately underline the specificity of the problem of “conversion” to Buddhism. On the one hand, it is a religious tradition recently imported into France: apart from a few cases of Asians, it is not a question of a “return” to its original tradition, but of a change of religion or a conversion of individuals “without religion” to this tradition of Asian origin. On the other hand, and we will come back to this, there is also the problem of defining Buddhism as a “religion”. We will see in particular how this tradition attracts a certain number of individuals precisely because it does not appear to them that it can be defined – rightly or wrongly – as a religion. We are thus faced with the paradox of very committed people who reject any idea of “conversion to Buddhism” (the formula referring too explicitly in their eyes to a religious problem) and on the contrary of very weakly committed individuals who explicitly declare themselves “ Buddhists.

The 14th Dalai Lama (spiritual name Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso, known as Tenzin Gyatso; born Lhamo Dhondup), known as Gyalwa Rinpoche to the Tibetan people, is the current Dalai Lama, the highest spiritual leader of Tibet, and a retired political leader of Tibet. Born on 6 July 1935, or in the Tibetan calendar, in the Wood-Pig Year, 5th month, 5th day, he is considered a living Bodhisattva; specifically, an emanation of Avalokiteśvara. He is also the leader of the Gelug school, the newest and currently most dominant of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, formally headed by the Ganden Tripa. The government of Tibet, the Ganden Phodrang, invested the Dalai Lama with temporal duties until his exile in 1959. On April 29, 1959, the Dalai Lama established the independent Tibetan government in exile in the north Indian hill station of Mussoorie, which then moved in May 1960 to Dharamshala, where he resides. He retired as political head in 2011 to make way for a democratic government.
