He was an amazing man.
I met with him last year at his temple in Hue, Vietnam. While he had not spoken in several years due to a stroke, his soul spoke volumes.
We first met in the early 1990’s when I attended a week long workshop he did.
He has written several excellent books on the parallels between Buddhism and Christianity, one being “Living Buddha, Living Christ.”
I’ll have to look up his book, “Living Buddha, Living Christ.” I’ve seen it for sale but I dismissed at as probably a New Agey type book. On second thought, I assume because of the author that the book has depth to it and maybe it can help an outsider understand Buddhism and help one understand how Buddhists see Christ. I do think that Buddhism and Christianity are incompatible but it is good to understand how others see things, whether we agree with it or find it mistaken. We often live in a bubble and assume we know how others think.
Thank you for sharing FRiend!
