Rob E. (baloner) reviewed Very refreshing approach to possible reconciliation between ANY religion on + 3 more book reviews
Thich Nhat Hanh has a very unassuming demeanor when it comes to talking about big issues. His presentation of Buddhist ideals and Christian philosophy in a comparative fashion is both innovative, ingenious, and so very necessary in today's world. I think anyone who feels that open minds and hearts can begin to heal the derisive mentalities that drive our peoples apart.
When describing Christ, Hanh is generous, even-toned, and open. When describing the Buddha, he is magnanimous, fair, and never would you glean from this book that Hanh was a Buddhist monk. Read this before you formulate an opinion about other religions. This sparkling little book presents new fodder for a new dialogue about where we go next and how interdependence can indeed exist as a tenet of Christianity as well as Buddhism.
