Portrait de Matthieu Ricard

마티외 리카르(프랑스어: Matthieu Ricard, 네팔어: माथ्यु रिका, 1946년 2월 15일 ~ )는 네팔의 Shechen Tennyi Dargyeling Monastery에 거주하는 프랑스 출신의 티베트불교 승려, 작가, 사진가다.

그는 저명한 교수였던 아버지의 영향으로 어려서부터 프랑스 지식인 그룹의 사상적 영향 안에서 성장하였다. 1972년 파스퇴르 연구소에서 분자 유전학 박사 학위를 받았다. 동일 년도에 그는 과학자로서의 경력을 포기하고, 티베트불교 승려가 되었으며 현재까지 주로 히말라야산맥에 거주하고 있다.

리카르는 Mind and Life Institute의 이사이다. 그는 2000년 Rabjam Rinpoche와 공동 설립 한 비영리 단체 Karuna-Shechen를 통한 동양에서의 인도주의 활동을 인정 받아 프랑스 국가 훈장을 받았다. 1989년부터 제14대 달라이 라마의 프랑스어 통역사로도 활동했다.

생애

[편집]

그는 저명한 철학자인 장프랑수아 르벨과 추상 화가이자 티베트 불교도인 얀 르투믈랭(Yahne Le Toumelin)의 자녀로 프랑스 엑스레뱅에서 태어났다. 부모의 영향으로 어려서부터 프랑스 지식인 그룹의 사상적 영향 안에서 성장하였다.[1]

1972년 파스퇴르 연구소에서 노벨상 수상자 프랑수아 자코브의 지도 아래 분자 유전학 박사 학위를 받았다. 박사 학위 논문을 마친 후, 리카르는 자신의 과학자 경력을 포기하고 티베트 불교의 수행에 집중하기로 결정했다.[2]

리카르는 인도로 가서 히말라야산맥에서 Kangyur Rinpoche와 다른 고승들과 함께 수행하였다. 1991년 Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche가 사망할 때까지 그의 가까운 친구이자 학생이였다. 그 후 리카르는 Khyentse Rinpoche의 이상을 실천하기 위해 힘쓰고 있다.[3]

그는 유수의 대중 매체에 의해 "세계에서 가장 행복한 사람"으로 보도되었다. 위스콘신 대학교 매디슨에서 행복에 대해 신경영상을 활용하여 12년간 수행한 조사에서 수백 명의 자원 봉사자 평균보다 훨씬 높은 점수를 받았다. 리카르가 세계에서 가장 행복한 남자라는 결론에 도달하기 위해 신경 과학자인 리처드 데이비드슨은 리카르가 연민 명상을 수행할 때 256개의 뇌파 감지 센서를 그의 뇌에 부착하였다. 데이비드슨은 리카르의 뇌가 의식, 주의력, 학습 및 기억과 관련이있는 감마파를 전례가 없는 최고 수준으로 발산한다는 것을 발견했다. 연구 결과 리카르의 두뇌의 좌전두엽 피질이 우측과 비교하여 크게 활성화되어 비정상적으로 큰 행복감을 생성하고, 부정적인 감정은 감소시킨 것으로 드러났다.[4][5][6]

Matthieu Ricard (French pronunciation: [matjø ʁikaʁ]; Nepali: माथ्यु रिका, born 15 February 1946) is a Nepalese French writer, photographer, translator and Buddhist monk who resides at Shechen Tennyi Dargyeling Monastery in Nepal.

Matthieu Ricard grew up among the personalities and ideas of French intellectual circles. He received a PhD degree in molecular genetics from the Pasteur Institute in 1972. He then decided to forsake his scientific career and instead practice Tibetan Buddhism, living mainly in the Himalayas.

Ricard is a board member of the Mind and Life Institute. He received the French National Order of Merit for his humanitarian work in the East with Karuna-Shechen, the non-profit organization he co-founded in 2000 with Rabjam Rinpoche. Since 1989, he has acted as the French interpreter for the 14th Dalai Lama. Since 2010, he has been travelling and giving a series of talks with and assisting in teachings by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, the incarnation of Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

Life

[edit]
Matthieu Ricard and the Dalai Lama in 2000

Born in Aix-les-Bains, Savoie, France, he is the son of the late Jean-François Revel (born Jean-François Ricard), a renowned French philosopher. His mother is the lyrical abstractionist painter and Tibetan Buddhist nun Yahne Le Toumelin. Matthieu Ricard grew up among the personalities and ideas of French intellectual circles.[1]

Ricard worked for a PhD degree in molecular genetics at the Pasteur Institute under French Nobel Laureate François Jacob. After completing his doctoral thesis in 1972, Ricard decided to forsake his scientific career and concentrate on the practice of Tibetan Buddhism.[2]

Ricard then went to India where he lived in the Himalayas studying with the Kangyur Rinpoche and some other teachers of that tradition. He became a close student and friend of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche until Rinpoche's death in 1991. Since then, Ricard has dedicated his activities to fulfilling Khyentse Rinpoche's vision.[3]

Ricard has been called the "happiest person in the world".[4][5] Matthieu Ricard was a volunteer subject in a study performed at the University of Wisconsin–Madison on happiness, scoring significantly above the average of hundreds of volunteers.[4] Ricard, however, has called the label "absurd" and untrue.[6][7]

He co-authored a study on the brains of long-term meditators, including himself, who had undergone a minimum of three years in retreat.[8]

Ricard is a board member of the Mind and Life Institute, which is devoted to meetings and collaborative research between scientists, Buddhist scholars and meditators, his contributions have appeared in Destructive Emotions (edited by Daniel Goleman) and other books of essays. He is engaged in research on the effect of mind training on the brain, in various institutions, including Madison-Wisconsin, Princeton and Berkeley universities[2] in the United States, the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany,[9] the University of Liège in Belgium,[10] and at the Inserm centres of Lyon and Caen in France.[11]

Ricard spent four years in the Dordogne, caring for his mother, Yahne, who died 2023 in her hundredth year; he felt very fortunate to be able to care for her during this time.[12]

Publishing

[edit]

Ricard's photographs of the spiritual masters, the landscape, and the people of the Himalayas have appeared in numerous books and magazines. Henri Cartier-Bresson has said of his work, "Matthieu's camera and his spiritual life make one, and from this springs these images, fleeting and eternal."[13]

Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, 30 January 2009 – Matthieu Ricard works on a laptop during the World Economic Forum annual meeting.

He is the author and photographer of Tibet, An Inner Journey and Monk Dancers of Tibet and, in collaboration, the photobooks Buddhist Himalayas, Journey to Enlightenment and Motionless Journey: From a Hermitage in the Himalayas. He is the translator of numerous Buddhist texts, including The Life of Shabkar.

The dialogue with his father, Jean-Francois Revel, The Monk and the Philosopher, was a best seller in Europe and was translated into 21 languages, and The Quantum and the Lotus (coauthored with Trinh Xuan Thuan) reflects his long-standing interest in science and Buddhism. His 2003 book Plaidoyer pour the bonheur (published in English in 2006 as Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill)[14] explores the meaning and fulfillment of happiness and was a major best-seller in France.

In June 2015, the English translation of Altruism: The Power of Compassion to Change Yourself and the World was published and excerpted as the cover story of Spirituality & Health Magazine.

Ricard is the also the author of Caring Economics: Conversations on Altruism and Compassion, Between Scientists, Economists, and the Dalai Lama (forthcoming 2015).[15]

Awards and other activities

[edit]

Ricard received the French National Order of Merit for his humanitarian work in the East. He donates all proceeds from his books and conferences, as well as much of his time to over 200 humanitarian projects in Nepal, India and Tibet (www.karuna-shechen.org) which serve over 300,000 beneficiaries every year in the fields of health care, education and social service. He is also active for the preservation of the Himalayan cultural heritage (www.shechen.org). Since 1989, he has acted as the French interpreter for the Dalai Lama.[1]

Ricard has spoken on many international forums, including the World Happiness Forum, the United-Nations (as part of the Gross National Happiness resolution[16][17] proposed by Bhutan), conferences held in Sydney, London, San Francisco and Singapore,[18] the Global Economic Symposium,[19] The World Government Summit[20] and other venues. He has been invited ten times to the World Economic Forum.[21]

Personal meditation practice

[edit]

Ricard uses three types of meditation: compassion, open awareness, and analytic.[22] He has spent a total of 5 years in solitary meditation, largely in a remote mountain hut.[22]

Veganism

[edit]

Ricard is a vegan.[22] He promotes veganism and animal rights, on which he wrote his 2016 book A Plea for the Animals.[23]
