    I am a Christian and meditating with Thay and sangha has made the bible much more understandable for me. I have always felt the love of Jesus as the strongest love ever in my life. Through retreats at plum village the teaching of Jesus became much more concrete for me. To feel Jesus' love is not that hard (in my experience but thats personal). But to live by such a divine love is what we all could do to make the world a better place...how to live and love as Jesus did. the level of compassion at plum village munks and nuns is so touching and so real. and their excercises to do so are so beautiful and applicable. It brought me closer to Jesus. I will always be thankful for this. I love that Gods truth is inclusive, not exclusive. As I heard He is Alpha and Omega. so we are reminded never to judge others or say we are the only true faith excluding everyone else. I believe we are one in True faith. when I am True in my faith I am one. one inside. and one with everything. only one in True faith. not half not 75% but 100%. This is my personal explanation of choosing one true faith. Being one in True faith. the kingdom of God is justice and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. I see no difference in the buddhist description of enlightenment. Isnt that beautiful? Thay is very near in my heart. I am so grateful. He brought me closer to Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ is my saviour. This pure love of the Holy Spirit is our saviour and it can perform miracles if we turn to the Holy Spirit. And I believe we still can transform through this and save our beautiful Earth. If we become one /if we all learn to feel this unity that all life is holy. I hope we can inspire eachother. Amen.

    I came here from John Butler, who is saying much the same from a Christianity perspective. Explaining heaven as becoming one with a unifying energy, and not a bar where you meet up with old friends. Buddhism works very well as the underpinning of many religions. Buddhism gets to the point, without the extra stories that are added to suit taste and desire to control.

    As a christian ( not chatolic but Evangelical who have left the organised prison of churchianity) Isee no conflict with what this teacher is saying. As he speaks, scriptures from the Bible just keep pooping up in my mind constantly backing him up. I love the progressive nature of Buddhism that encourages more learning and keep the mind open. Unlike Christianity that has a set doctrine and a closed sealed book the Bible that can not be challenged and interpreted freely. I feel very comfortable here. Lovely.

    What a buddha can know from below is seen indistinctly as in a mirror (1 Cor. 13:12), that is, in creation and in his/her own soul.
    Enlightenment is a candle to the sun.
    "He that cometh from above is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from heaven is above all." (John 3:31)
    "And no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father: and who the Father is, but the Son and to whom the Son will reveal him." (Luke 10:22 ; cf. Matthew 11:27)
    [Admonition: "I have not written to you as to them that know not the truth, but as to them that know it: and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son hath the Father also." (1 John 2:21-23)
    Buddhism deserves to be redeemed. But mere Enlightenment is of the world.]
    The Buddha shall rise in judgment with this generation and condemn it, because he followed his conscience and was faithful to the lights he was given (cf. Matt. 12:42 ; Luke 11:31).
    And behold greater than Buddha here.
    Greater than all things whatsoever man can be or do: "But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, *nor of the will of man* , but of God." (John 1:12-13, emphasis added)
    Emmanuel - God with us - preparing the world for the Salvation of His Cross from the moment of man's fall, down through Abraham, Isaac, and the nation of Israel.
    The Word was with God and was God from the Beginning. "And the Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His Glory...."
    Jesus the Christ is God. He was crucified. He rose from death.
    He has something to say to you, as many as receive Him....

    Fui orientalista por muchos años, entiendo el sincretismo de este hombre, pero el Budismo y el cristianismo aunque coinciden en algunas cosas (pocas) en esencia son muy opuestas. El amor cristiano esta compuesto por la filialidad, por eso el cristianismo es tan acoplado a la civilización social, el budismo es muy individualista por ser una religión activamente monástica, no es practica en la integración del amor y todo lo aquello que se sacrifica, no es una religion social, se fecunda en ostracismo porque no tienen nada que amen y ser amado, por eso a ellos les da curiosidad Jesús.
    Por eso soy conversa y soy catolica, prefiero creer la perfección cristiana en las virtudes y el amor, antes de desobligarme y darme un placebo de paz, que en verdad no se tiene, esa autosuficiencia budista no es práctica lamentablemente, solo en un camino de "iluminación" solitario.

      Querida amiga ¿puedo acompañarte en esta reflexión? Quizás pueda entregar alguna información, y que pueda aportar a entender mejor la relación. El budismo desde la voz de Thich Nhat Hanh y de la tradición de la que desciende, habla mucho del amor, de hacer a alguien feliz o de poder ayudar a que sufra menos, de sentir el sufrimiento y abrazarlo, y estar ahí para la otra persona; cómo nosotros dependemos de todo lo demás para poder ser, a lo que llamamos interser, y como el Buda enseñaba sobre el verdadero amor y la compasión.
      Esta y muchas cosas más están muy lejos del individualismo y la vida en solitario, hasta hay un sutra que aconseja sobre un mejor entendimiento de este último.
      Por esto, te invito a darle una vuelta a la visión actual que planteas y preguntarte a ti misma si estás segura de que lo que crees del budismo. Espero que la amabilidad en el camino te pueda encontrar 🙏

      También lamento lo mucho que han sufrido hermanos católicos y cristianos en determinados grupos de nuestra iglesia aquí en occidente que me recuerdan mucho a tu dolor. Desilusionados e incluso dañados por quienes creían que los llevarían por buen camino, y terminan sintiéndose más solos y vulnerables que nunca.
      Creo que estarías de acuerdo conmigo en decirles que Dios no es así, que Dios es amor, y lo que vivieron y sufrieron, vinieron de personas que tomaron su propia versión de la verdad y Dios para controlar sin importar el sufrimiento de su comunidad.
      Entonces te invito a preguntar ¿es verdadero budismo el que hizo sentir dolor y aflicción? ¿o puede ser el que te habla con amabilidad, alegría, compasión y ecuanimidad, y que te hicieron que ahora creyeras que no es verdadero budismo?
      La elección depende ti, y te puedo asegurar que si te abres al budismo por la voz de Thich Nhat Hanh, y miras su biografía, encontrarás un budismo que te mira con amor y compasión, similar al más puro y noble catolicismo o cristianismo.

XX, no se si gracias ó desafortunadamente por la filosofia germana que trajo las primeras traducciones y Allan Watts.
