Beautiful as some Buddhist texts might be, they make a poor substitute for the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and thus have no place in Christian worship.
The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
Conquer the angry man by love.
Conquer the ill-natured man by goodness.
Conquer the miser with generosity.
Conquer the liar with truth.
Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle,
and the life of the candle will not be shortened.
Happiness never decreases by being shared.
I fail to see how something like that would close a church. Aren’t those pretty much in keeping with Christian ideals? If someone quoted them but didn’t say they were Buddhist, I doubt any Christian would have a problem with them.
