Vie et enseignement de Tierno Bokar

"Your duty is to seek your true existence. Who are you? Where do you come from? Why were you created? What is your happiness? What is your unhappiness?" Tierno Bokar
At the beginning of the 20th century, in the heart of Africa, in Mali, the light of God shone upon a man: Tierno Bokar, known as the Sage of Bandiagara. A sheikh of the Tidjaniya Sufi brotherhood, he was a pure and lofty figure not only of Islam in Black Africa, but of universal spirituality. His life is retraced in its places and in its political and religious context to situate the words and teachings of the master, which are the subject of the other two parts of the book.
