Download or read book Buddhism in the Light of Christ written by Esther Baker and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-04-18 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhism's influence is growing in the West, as seen in the widespread use of "Buddhist mindfulness apps" in people's attempts to unwind, or the casual use of words like "nirvana" and "karma" that have crept into the English language. Whether we meet it in the East or West, what is Buddhism? What is at the heart of its teachings? How does Buddhism differ from Christianity, and are they compatible? Through a collection of true short stories and testimonies, Buddhism in the Light of Christ--a sequel and companion to Esther Baker's first book, I Once was a Buddhist Nun--takes an insightful look at some core Buddhist beliefs and practices, and then reflects on them from a Christian viewpoint and biblical understanding. Esther tackles important questions such as: "How does the Buddhist goal nirvana and God differ?" and "Is Buddhism a form of idolatry?" Her responses reveal a penetrating understanding that helps to unravel and demystify the true nature of Buddhism. Buddhism in the Light of Christ also includes helpful suggestions on how to share Jesus with Buddhist friends, as well as important considerations regarding discipleship once a Buddhist has come to know Christ.

After serving for 27 years as a Buddhist priest he had an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Book Synopsis The Gospel for Buddhists and the Dharma for Christians by : Donovan Roebert
Download or read book The Gospel for Buddhists and the Dharma for Christians written by Donovan Roebert and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-01-02 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Donovan Roebert provides a path for Christians and Buddhists who wish to better understand the essential, living tenets of their own faith while exploring how these two great religious paths can provide insights of real benefit to adherents of either. Without lapsing into syncretism or demanding a departure from orthodoxy, this book provides a sound and thorough basis on which Christians and Buddhists - and all those seeking greater insight into faiths other than their own - can explore the rich possibilities for learning from one another. Beyond describing in detail the doctrines and practices of Christianity and Buddhism, this book describes the authentic human path of religious development with a strong focus on the problem of 'self' or 'ego' in spiritual growth, discussing obstacles to growth and exploring their remedies. Brief histories of both religions are provided, enabling the reader to understand how diversity is an inevitable consequence of historical development and, rather than standing as a problem in religious dialogue, is always a means to spiritual enrichment. The Gospel for Buddhists and the Dharma for Christians is the fruit of a personal spiritual journey of thirty years. It demonstrates that the search for religious freedom becomes richer and more rewarding when a spacious mind engages with, rather then flees from, religious paths outside of its own tradition. Finally, it is a plea for sincere friendship across factitious religious divides.

Book Synopsis The Noble Eightfold Path of Christ by : Thomas Ragland
Download or read book The Noble Eightfold Path of Christ written by Thomas Ragland and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient Theravada Buddhist canonical suttas, the beloved Mahayana Buddhist sutras, and the Tao Te Ching have been lovingly mined for concepts and realizations. These ideas resonate with the heart of the teachings of Jesus the Nazarene as preserved in the Christian gospels. Presented in the arrangement and context of Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path, "the truths presented are timeless and universal as a complete religion in themselves," says the author. The author describes the book as serving as the message of Jesus to the world in the context of Christian of Eastern thought, and points out that it is not really a Christian work. This is foremost a Buddhist writing, devoted to the same Dharma that Buddha so loved and taught 2500 years ago. It is presented through the teachings of the One who is called the Christ in the Western world. Then again, this is not really a Buddhist work as the linkage the author has made between the concepts of Christ and Buddha create a synthesis that transcends Christianity and Buddhism. The heart of this Dharma cannot really be defined of confined by a system of thought. It lives on the immediacy of the expression of those who take it to heart.

Book Synopsis The Buddha and the Christ - Reciprocal Views by : Ernest Valea
Download or read book The Buddha and the Christ - Reciprocal Views written by Ernest Valea and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as an exercise in comparative religion for both Buddhists and Christians. The author assesses how the teachings of the Buddha and the Christ relate to each other, what they have in common and what is different, and how the teachings of each would work in the context of the teachings of the other. Could we see the Buddha and the Christ as complementary religious teachers of our world, or as fulfilling a similar spiritual need in different parts of the world? Could one have a kind of "double spiritual citizenship" by acknowledging both as his or her spiritual teacher? Or would such a claim mean having a religious citizenship that is in fact neither Buddhist nor Christian?
Book Synopsis The Spirit-Led Leader by : Timothy C. Geoffrion
Download or read book The Spirit-Led Leader written by Timothy C. Geoffrion and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005-11-14 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our postmodern, experience-oriented culture, people are longing for greater authenticity, integrity, and depth in their pastors and leaders. Board directors, church members, and staff alike are all eagerly seeking leaders who effectively integrate their spirituality and leadership. Pastors and executives, however, often struggle with knowing how to integrate their spiritual values and practices into their leadership and management roles. Designed for pastors, executives, administrators, managers, coordinators, and all who see themselves as leaders and who want to fulfill their God-given purpose, The Spirit-Led Leader addresses the critical fusion of spiritual life and leadership for those who not only want to see results, but who also desire to care just as deeply about who they are and how they lead as they do about what they produce and accomplish. Geoffrion creates a new vision for spiritual leadership as partly an art, partly a result of careful planning, and always a working of the grace of God

Book Synopsis The Buddhist Essene Gospel of Jesus Volume II by : Dr Johnny Lovewisdom
Download or read book The Buddhist Essene Gospel of Jesus Volume II written by Dr Johnny Lovewisdom and published by . This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BUDDHIST ESSENE GOSPEL OF JESUS Volume II The New Age Essene and Maha Bodhi Renaissance A THREE VOLUME EXEGESIS WITH SYRIAC ARAMAIC TRANSLATIONS UNFOLDING THE GOSPEL S MYSTERIES AND UNCOVERING THEIR TRUTH by Dr. Johnny Lovewisdom Special Appendix: Diet of the Essene Jesus and The Healing Transition Diet (amplified and revised edition) Now for the first time in the west, we have a facsimile reproduction of the Principal Mysteries just as they were thought out and recorded in the original wording. In this Second Volume of The Buddhist Essene Gospel of Jesus, Dr. Lovewisdom focuses on the importance Buddhism had in the creation of Primitive Chrisitianity. Quote from Volume II: India's claim as the teacher of the world is due to Buddha. Buddha was born in India and gained enlightenment on India soil. We in the west owe so much to Buddha according to Prof. D.C. Ahir. Universities as great centers of learning first came into existence during the golden age of Buddhism in India from the time of the Buddha (6th century b.c.) to the 7th century a.d., about 1200 years. Our concept of libraries was first developed in these prestigious Buddhist Universities. Democracy can be traced back to Buddhism and how the Sanghas or communities were governed by voting. Buddhist art at Ajanta inspired all of Asia. Indian scholars have pointed out that Patanjali s yoga sutras are really a Hindu version of Buddhist yoga and the Bhagavad Gita is claimed a post-Buddha scripture. Shankara s Vedanta system has been shown to be largely borrowed from Buddhism according to Dr. Das Gupta. The Buddha influenced India to become largely vegetarian after being a heavy beef-eating country. Your editor's conclusion is that given the same vicarious atonement animal sacrifices, slavery among men and intellectual authoritarian servitude to Brahmanism at the time of the Buddha, -the teachings of Jesus Christ would have converted the world to peace instead of war. BLOOD OF THE GRAPE SALVATION VERSUS SHEDDING HUMAN BLOOD To understand John, we must apply Gospel definitions, and in the beginning with him refers to what in Greek was translated as the Genesis, the first book of the Bible. So he proceeds to tell us of the Word or Wisdom of Life Everlasting, for God is Light, our true Enlightenment. Now in the 7th verse reveals: "If we live in the Light, as he is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sins." This affirmation of John proves that the common dogmatic assertion that Jesus shed his blood on the cross in payment for our sins is false theology, hiding the Essene teachings. The blood of lambs, oxen, doves and other animals, and not even the bloodshed of humans can give us life, nor Life Everlasting. Rather, as we have already explained, the blood of the Son of God is grape blood, and Genesis teaches that the Prophesied Savior will wash his bodily raiment or robe in the blood of the grape. SAINT FRANCIS VERSUS SAINT PAUL People who live many years without dead animal products become very sensitive to any violation of this purity just as St. Francis confesses in a sermon after a severe illness: "Dearly beloved! I have to confess to God and you that I have eaten cakes made with lard." "St. Francis' gift of sympathy seems to have been wider than St. Paul's, for we find no evidence in the great Apostle of a love for nature or for animals. Francis' love of creatures was not simply the offspring of a soft sentimental disposition. It arose from that deep and abiding sense of the presence of God. To him all are from one Father and all are real kin. Francis placed the chief hope of his redemption and the redress of a suffering humanity in the literal imitation of his Divine Master."
