Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buddhism and Its Christian Critics Comparison is the best method of acquiring comprehension; and comprehension involves both the discrimination of contrasts and the recognition of similarities. Differences are upon the whole at once apparent while similarities are hidden; but the import of differences can, at the same time, not be appreciated until the similarities are seen. Thus, the discovery that the course of the moon and the fall of a stone are both phenomena of gravitation, becomes significant only when the difference of both phenomena can be traced to a difference of conditions. For this reason every religious man should study other religions in order to understand his own religion; and he must try to trace conscientiously and lovingly the similarities in the various faiths in order to acquire the key that will unlock to him the law of the religious evolution of mankind. The present book purports to be a contribution to comparative religion, and it is one-sided because it is addressed mainly to Christians, viz., to those Christians who are anxious to acquire an insight into the significance of Buddhist thought as it is at its best.

Book Synopsis Buddhist and Christian? by : Rose Drew
Download or read book Buddhist and Christian? written by Rose Drew and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a detailed exploration of Buddhist Christian dual belonging, engaging - from both Buddhist and Christian perspectives - the questions that arise, and drawing on extensive interviews with well-known individuals in the vanguard of this important and growing phenomenon. The issue is pressing insofar the last century has witnessed a gradual but profound transformation of the West's religious landscape. In today's context of diversity, people are often influenced by more than one religion. Multireligious identities are consequently on the rise. At one end of the spectrum are those who identify themselves as fully belonging to more than one tradition. One of the most prevalent combinations is Christianity and Buddhism This book addresses central and fundamental questions. How is it possible to be authentically Buddhist and authentically Christian when, for example, God is central to Christianity yet absent from Buddhism; when Christians have faith in Jesus Christ while Buddhists take refuge in the Buddha; when Christians hope for heaven and Buddhists hope for nirvana; and when Buddhists and Christians engage in different practices? Are those who identify themselves as belonging to both traditions profoundly irrational, religiously schizophrenic, or perhaps just spiritually superficial? Or is it possible somehow to reconcile the thought and practice of Buddhism and Christianity in such a way that one can be deeply committed to both? And if it is possible, will the influence of Buddhist Christians on each of these traditions be something to be regretted or celebrated?"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Moving and revolutionary, this book will inspire Christians everywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buddhism in the Modern World Christian in its standards of thought and conduct is evident to any unbiased observer, and one of the most remarkable proofs of the authenticity and originality of our faith is this - that it is at once reforming and fulfilling the ancient faiths of Asia. What it did with the religions of Rome and Greece it is already doing with the nobler religions of the Orient; and true missionaries of Christ are at work upon a task of incomparable dignity and significance, These brief sketches are based upon ten years of intimate association with Buddhists in Southern and Eastern Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Light of Asia and the Light of the World: A Comparison of the Legend, the Doctrine,& the Ethics of the Buddha, With the Story, the Doctrine,& the Ethics of Christ There is reason to believe that a large class even of Christian people have a most exaggerated idea of the excellence of the great non-Christian religions, and the extent to which their teachings agree with those of the Gospel of Christ. This remark applies with special force at present to the case of Buddhism, in which, for various reasons, very many intelligent people, of every variety of religious opinion, have of late years come to feel a very special interest. Such erroneous impressions in the case of many are doubtless due to a very pardonable ignorance or misapprehension of the real facts which bear upon the question. The data upon which one might base an intelligent judgment have not been as accessible to the general reading public as were to be desired.

This book was released on 2016-06-13 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dhamma of Gotama the Buddha and the Gospel of Jesus the Christ: A Critical Inquiry Into the Alleged Relations of Buddhism With Primitive Christianity The work in hand is partly the outcome of a series of lectures on Buddhism delivered by the author in the Catholic University of America. It has been written to meet a want keenly felt in the field of Christian Apologetics. The specious attempts to lay the Gospels under obligation to Buddhist teaching have shaken the faith of not a few Christians. The need of a thorough refutation is imperative. The few works in English vindicating the independent origin of Christianity against Buddhist usurpation, - all of them by Protestant writers, - excellent as they are, dwell too largely on the comparative superiority of Christian teaching, and do not enter in sufficient detail into a critical scrutiny of the alleged proofs of Buddhist influence on Christianity. It is to the latter point that the author of this little volume has given his chief care, contenting himself with a brief exposition of the inferiority of Buddhism to the religion of Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buddhism and Christianity: A Parallel and a Contrast IN endeavouring to sketch in so limited a space even the most salient features of the many sided religion of Buddhism it is possible that here and there I may have misrepresented it. If so, I hope the fault will be attributed to inad vertence, or rather to disadvantages under which I have worked. The sacred beliefs of any section of mankind are entitled to receive at our hands not only justice but kindly consideration, and a religion so vast and in some respects so wonderful as Buddhism ought to have much to commend it to our sympathy. Long and patient study of it has indeed greatly modified opinions originally formed concerning it, but it has only tended to increase respect for so earnest an effort of the intellect to solve the mystery of human life and destiny.

Book Synopsis Outlines of Mahâyâna Buddhism (Classic Reprint) by : Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Mahayana Buddhism The object of this book is twofold: (i) To refute the many wrong opinions which are entertained by Western critics concerning the fundamental teachings of Mahayana Buddhism; (2) To awake interest among scholars of comparative religion in the development of the religious sentiment and faith as exemplified by the growth of one of the most powerful spiritual forces in the world. The book is therefore at once popular and scholarly. It is popular in the sense that it tries to expose the fallacy of the general attitude assumed by other religionists towards Mahayanism. It aims to be scholarly, on the other hand, when it endeavors to expound some of the most salient features of the doctrine, historically and systematically.

Book Synopsis Mohammed, Buddha, and Christ by : Marcus Dods
Download or read book Mohammed, Buddha, and Christ written by Marcus Dods and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you like firebrand ministers delivering strongly worded sermons, then you'll want to dive in to Mohammed, Buddha, and Christ: Four Lectures on Natural and Revealed Religion by Marcus Dods, a theologian and professor of New College in Edinburgh. This book presents four of his lectures about Mohammed, Buddha and Christ and the religions they founded, but the book is not a comparative study of the respective practices of the three great religions. In keeping with his position in the United Free Church of Scotland, Dods forcefully argues for the moral superiority of Christianity. Dods presents two lectures on Islam. Some religious practices of Islam are discussed and praised, like regularity of prayer, almsgiving, and religious holidays. But most of the two lectures is devoted to things that Dods finds deficient about the religion. Dods is critical of the concept of Paradise and criticizes polygamy and marriage laws. He also condemns Mohammed's treatment of women. The second lecture on Islam begins with a brief historical review of the religions of Arabia. He offers the opinions of philosophers like Voltaire and Carlyle and then vigorously disagrees with them. He writes that there is little to admire about Mohammed, and declares the religion was spread by violence and conquest rather than due to positive virtues. However, Dods does praise Islamic contributions to art and literature. Dods is more circumspect about Buddhism. He describes the religion as one that is not devoted to a supernatural deity, and devotes several pages to relating the compelling story of Buddha's life . He praises Buddhists for their charitable natures, which he feels are similar to the ethics of Christians, however, Dods considers Buddhist philosophies as atheistic and leading to polytheism. The lecture on Christianity is entitled "The Perfect Religion." Dods sets up his argument by discussing what makes a religion real, true and the product of divine revelation. He concludes that Christianity is the one true religion and ends the book by surmising that the Arabs are too barbaric to properly receive Christian missionaries. These lectures contain arguments that will be shocking to some modern readers, while at the same time, some of Dods' arguments are still debated today. Mohammed, Buddha and Christ: Four Lectures on Natural and Revealed Religion is probably most useful to readers as a snapshot of Christian thought about other religions in 19th Century Europe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and Buddhism Compared The general indifference with which researches in Buddhism have been regarded, more especially in Britain, is difficult to account for; as, irrespective of the importance of the subject from its extent and influence there are other matters of special interest connected with it, arising from the magnitude and antiquity of its architectural remains; its numerous inscriptions, upon coins, slabs and rocks, the key to the reading of which presents one of the most ingenious discoveries of modern study the coincidence in some of its historical events with western, chronology; and the light it throws upon a type of Speculation differing widely from that which is seen in the systems and philosophies of the Semitic and European nations.
