Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter VIII, § 3. Subalgebras of split semi-simple Lie algebras

g\mathfrak{g} is simple if and only if R is irreducible (in other words, its Dynkin graph is connected).

This follows from Prop. 6.

A Lie algebra a\mathfrak{a} is said to be absolutely simple if, for every extension k′k' of kk, the k′k'-Lie algebra a(k′)\mathfrak{a}_{(k')} is simple.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
