Experiments in Buddhist-Christian Encounter: From Buddha-Nature to the Divine Nature

Synopsis

Peter Feldmeier Explores Connections And Divergences Between Buddhist And Christian Spirituality By Utilizing Christian Figures Like Meister Eckhart And St. John Of The Cross To Reflect Upon Buddhist Positions And Teachings Like Buddha-nature And The Zen Oxherding Pictures. Emphaizing The Spirituality Of Both Faiths, He Suggests How Dialogue Might Change One's Way Of Thinking About One's Own Faith, Rather Than Simply Revealing Alignments Between The Two.
