Traduire un maitre bouddhiste contemporain: Enjeux de l'union a une voix de sagesse.

摘要

The first part of this thesis is a study of our French translation of an excerpt of Journey Without Goal, a contemporary Buddhist text published in 1981.;First, we present a short biography of the author, Vidyadhara Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche, Tibetan tantric master. Then we define the topic of the book translated: the Tibetan Buddhist tantra. The other existing French translations of Trungpa's books are briefly examined. In the course of this examination certain fundamental principles are stressed. We emphasise in particular the importance of taking into account the oral nature of Trungpa's teachings and the type of preparation and conditions necessary for the translation of contemporary Buddhist masters' works from English into French. We then describe our own approach to the translation and present a detailed analysis of the interpretative process required in order to reformulate a text which aims at establishing a direct and immediate link with the reader, despite the esoteric dimension of the topic dealt with. Lastly, we examine several terminology problems posed by the text.;The second part of the thesis is the translation of the introduction and the first eight chapters of Journey Without Goal.
