Jesus and Buddha as Brothers
In 'Going Home', Thich Nhat Hanh celebrates the life-affirming roots of two disparate spiritual traditions: Buddhism and Christianity. As he says, "Redemption and resurrection are neither words nor objects of belief. They are our daily practice. We practise in such a way that Buddha is born every moment of our daily lives, that Jesus Christ is born every moment of our daily lives."
The author - a world famous mystic, meditation master, scholar and activist - also discusses the theological convergences between Buddhism and Christianity, as well as the prayers, rituals and forms of practice of both.
His book is an exquisite guide to establishing deep roots in the traditions into which we are born, a moving reading experience for anyone interested in finding their spiritual home.
