When the Eastern Occult Teaching was presented to the Western World, about 40 years ago, its explanations of the Universe were accepted as reasonable by many stu dents, and since the Rosicrucian cosmo-con ception has been given in 1909, similar in certain respects concerning the laws gov erning the Universe, the question naturally arises as to its scope and purpose, why it has been given, and whether its teachings and methods of development are better suited to an advanced or modern civilization.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mysticism: Christian and Buddhist This Series is committed to a re-examination of all those sides of human endeavor which the specialist was taught to believe he could safely leave aside. It interprets present and past events impinging on human life in our growing World Age and envisages what man may yet attain when summoned by an unbend'ing inner necessity to the quest of what is most exalted in him. Its purpose is to offer new vistas in terms of world and human development while refusing to betray the intimate correlation between universality and individuality, dynamics and form, freedom and destiny. Each author treats his subject from the broad perspective Of the world community, not from the judaeo-christian, Western or Eastern viewpoint alone.

Book Synopsis The Gospel of Buddha by : Paul Carus
Download or read book The Gospel of Buddha written by Paul Carus and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1894 this book was one of the first introductions of Buddhism to the West. In particular the topic is approached from a Christian point of view, showing parallels between the teachings of the two faiths and between their respective holy figures. This edition contains the beautiful original images and is often recommended to Christians wishing to learn more about the teachings of Buddhism. Paul Carus had an obvious and deep respect for Buddhism and other Eastern traditions and that shines through in this work. It contains fine descriptions of the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, as well as many parables of the Buddha. Where documents have been translated, while they would doubtless have been translated differently these days, they have been done so with great sensitivity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jesus, the Heart of Christianity Among these, through whom the imperishable life of the infinite God is breathed into our race, and high above all is he from whom Christen dom sprang. This claim which we make for him may well seem questionable if measured by the extent to which his in uence has spread over the globe. The religion of Buddha, it is computed, is the religion of four hundred millions of human be ings. So far then as numbers are concerned, Christendom must yield to the religion of Asia, and Christ to Buddha.

Book Synopsis The Dhamma of Gotama the Buddha and the Gospel of Jesus the Christ by : Charles Francis Aiken
Download or read book The Dhamma of Gotama the Buddha and the Gospel of Jesus the Christ written by Charles Francis Aiken and published by . 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.

Book Synopsis Buddhism and Christianity by : Archibald Scott
Download or read book Buddhism and Christianity written by Archibald Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 410 pages. 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 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.

Book Synopsis The Way of the Buddha (Classic Reprint) by : Herbert Baynes
Download or read book The Way of the Buddha (Classic Reprint) written by Herbert Baynes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Way of the Buddha The object of this little book is to give the reader a succinct account of an Eastern sage whose doctrine of the Path has been accepted by millions of the human race, and whose influ ence is still felt at the ends of the earth. What is generally understood by Buddhism will be found to differ greatly from the way of emancipation here set forth. And for this reason Unlike all other religions, Buddhism began with out God and without prayer, and ended in be coming a most elaborate system of polytheism with a superstitious multiplication of collects. Up to the time of Asoka, about 250 b.o., it seems to have remained comparatively pure; but by the thirteenth century a.d., when the revival of Brahmanism drove it from India, it had assumed in other countries so many new features as to be hardly recognisable. Nor should this be a matter for great surprise. When an essentially Aryan religion or system of philosophy is transplanted to Turanian lands it is not to be expected that it will remain unchanged. The contrast between the teaching of the Christ and of His apostles, and the Christianity of Rome in the Middle Ages is indeed great, but the difference between the Buddhism of Tibet and the Dharma of Sakya Muni 1s greater still. The history of the faith In all the lands m which it has taken root is far too vast a subject for our present purpose, but a general outline of its rise and fall in Aryavarta.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dawn and the Day, Vol. 1: Or the Buddha and the Christ We shall not be far wrong in attempting an out line of the Buddha's life if we begin by assuming that intense individuality, fervid earnestness and severe simplicity, combined with singular beauty of countenance, calm dignity of bearing, and al most superhuman persuasiveness of speech, were conspicuous in the great teacher. To believe that such a character was the product of a false religion, or that he was given over to believe a lie, savors too much of that worst agnosticism which would in effect deny the universality of God's love and would limit His care to some favored locality or age or race.

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.

Book Synopsis Living Buddha, Living Christ by : Thich Nhat Hanh
Download or read book Living Buddha, Living Christ written by Thich Nhat Hanh and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-03-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Thich Nhat Hanh] shows us the connection between personal, inner peace and peace on earth." --His Holiness The Dalai Lama Nominated by Martin Luther King, Jr. for a Nobel Peace Prize, Thich Nhat Hanh is one of today’s leading sources of wisdom, peace, compassion and comfort. The 20th anniversary edition of the classic text, updated, revised, and featuring a Mindful Living Journal. Buddha and Christ, perhaps the two most pivotal figures in the history of humankind, each left behind a legacy of teachings and practices that have shaped the lives of billions of people over two millennia. If they were to meet on the road today, what would each think of the other's spiritual views and practices? Thich Nhat Hanh has been part of a decades-long dialogue between two great contemplatice traditions, and brings to Christianity an appreciation of its beauty that could be conveyed only by an outsider. IN lucid, meditative prose, he explores the crossroads of compassion and holiness at which the two traditions meet, and he 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."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buddhist Christian Gospels: Being Gospel Parallels From Pali Texts Moreover, there is the Johannine doctrine of the New Birth, while a genuine Gospel spirit of pity for the poor and outcast breathes through the whole. No wonder the story was so popular. As pointed out in my note it is one out of a choice group of leading scenes in Buddha s life which were graven on the great Tope in the ancient apital of Ceylon, in the second centiu'y before Christ. The Chinese, too, have more than one version of the story in separate form, as well as the Canonical translation in their Agamas.

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.

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.
