  • La mise en image du Bouddha et son rĂŽle dans l’organisation sociale

    Au dĂ©but, le Bouddha voulait juste enseigner, pas poser pour des statues. Il n’Ă©tait reprĂ©sentĂ© que par des symboles. Des siĂšcles plus tard, l’inspiration vient
 de la GrĂšce antique !

  • The Mon People: Gateways of Civilization

    As an indigenous people of Southeast Asia, the Mon received Theravāda Buddhism from Sinhalese monks. Between the 6th and 11th centuries, they became cultural bearers, spreading the faith, writing, and arts. Their legacy deeply inspired emerging kingdoms. Discreet facilitators, they gradually faded, leaving a lasting mark on civilization.

  • Le Peuple MĂŽn : Passeurs de Civilisation

    Peuple autochtone d’Asie du Sud-Est, les MĂŽns reçurent le bouddhisme theravāda des moines cinghalais. Entre le VIᔉ et le XIᔉ siĂšcle, ils devinrent des passeurs culturels, diffusant la foi, l’écriture et les arts. Leur hĂ©ritage inspira profondĂ©ment les royaumes naissants. Passeurs discrets, ils se sont effacĂ©s, laissant une empreinte durable dans la civilisation.

  • L’Apocalypse du Lapin Ă  Chiang Dao

    Un lapin blanc aux yeux scintillants bondit depuis le sud. Devant lui, le Doi Luang s’élĂšve, majestueux, couronnĂ© de brume. Ce sanctuaire sacrĂ© irradie un silence chargĂ© de mystĂšre. Le lapin ralentit, sentant qu’ici, le voile de l’avenir va se lever devant lui.

  • Vilanka: The Tale of the Lawa King

    Vilanka, king of the Lawa with a broken heart, tells a historical destiny often overshadowed by a queen who took all the spotlight. Amid mountains, legends, and thrown spears, his story blends ancestral pride, betrayals, and struggles to preserve the soul of a forgotten people in Northern Thailand.

  • A trishaw in Sagaing

    Sagaing, the once-forgotten former capital of Myanmar, is now a peaceful town, home to nearly two thousand monks and nuns. But that’s not the story I want to tell you. Instead, I’d like to share a travel anecdote — a personal journey across these sacred hills, drawn from three visits through time. And while you…

  • In the Footsteps of Queen Malika in MaeAi

    Born in 1588, the Year of the Dragon, Malika was the daughter of the King and Queen of Fang. Heir to a kingdom in turmoil, she ruled over the region that now bears her name. In her citadel, inhabited primarily by women, she trained and led an army of brave warrior women who defended the…

  • Sur les traces de la Reine Malika Ă  Mae Ai

    NĂ©e en 1588, l’annĂ©e du Dragon, Malika Ă©tait la fille du roi et de la reine de Fang. HĂ©ritiĂšre d’un royaume en lutte, elle rĂ©gna sur la rĂ©gion qui porte aujourd’hui son nom. Dans sa citadelle, principalement habitĂ©e par des femmes, elle forma et mena une armĂ©e de guerriĂšres courageuses qui dĂ©fendirent la ville contre…
