Going Home
Jesus and Buddha as Brothers
Authors: Thích Nhất Hạnh
Published: October 1, 2000
Exiled from Vietnam over thirty years ago, Thích Nhất Hạnh has become known as a healer of the heart, a monk who shows us how the everyday world can both enrich and endanger our spiritual lives.
In this book, Jesus and Buddha share a conversation about prayer and ritual and renewal, and about where such concepts as resurrection and the practice of mindfulness converge. In this unique way, Thích Nhất Hạnh shows the brotherhood between Jesus and Buddha—and in the process shows how we can take their wisdom into the world with us, to “practice in such a way that Buddha is born every moment of our daily life, that Jesus Christ is born every moment of our daily life.”
