This book isn't so much a compare and contrast of Buddhism and Christianity as it is something that attempts to show the similarities between the teachings of the Buddha and the teachings of Jesus. In some parts it is a bit of a stretch, but overall a good effort by a good teacher. ( ) If Thich Nhat Hanh does anything for the Christian reader, he will at least make him look at his own practice of Christianity (or lacking practice) with new eyes. The book is an excellent springboard for discussion among Orthodox faithful and also for informed, interreligious dialogue between Orthodox Christians and Buddhists. It provides a conceptual context for the deepening of one's own spiritual involvement and practice, whether Buddhist or Christian. Nhat Hanh provides key terms and concepts from both communities to facilitate understanding, dialogue, and greater awareness. Though he may at times miss an important value of Orthodox Christianity, he, nevertheless, provides a fair assessment and critique for the purpose of increasing a deeper, more conscious practice of the Orthodox Christian Faith. This book is an excellent text for group study for Buddhist enquirers and Christians who wish to find encouragement toward more practical ways of embodying Christian Faith in their daily lives. I found this to be an amazing book. It had long been on my "to read" list. I'm glad my sister's women's group chose to pick it up. I read along, and now I think I may need to purchase my own copy. There are parts I will want to return to over and over again. I'm sure rereading a few years from now will bring new insights from parts that didn't touch me at this moment. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
ACADEMY AWARD WINNER BEN KINGSLEY READS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE NOMINEE THICH NHAT HANH'S INSPIRING MASTERPIECE "When you are a truly happy Christian, you are also a Buddhist. And vice versa." -- Thich Nhat Hanh. World-renowned thinker and scholar Thich Nhat Hanh, considered by many to be a "Living Buddah," explores the spiritual crossroads where the traditions of Christianity and Buddhism meet. Living Buddha, Living Christ reawakens our understanding of both religions and the connections between them. The bestselling author of Creating True Peace, and one of the most beloved Buddhist teachers in the West, Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh has been part of a decades-long dialogue between the two greatest living contemplative traditions. In lucid, meditative prose, he explores the crossroads of compassion and holiness at which the two traditions meet, and reawakens our understanding of both. "On the altar in my hermitage," he says, "are images of Buddha and Jesus, and I touch both of them as my spiritual ancestors.". No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
