Introduction

Buddhism and Christianity are ancient, rich, and multivalent wisdom spirituality traditions that often have insightful similarities as well as distinct perspectives from entirely different starting points.

About the Book

Fragrant Rivers of Wisdom explores some of these paths and encourages readers to gain, as far as is possible, a participant's appreciation of another faith.

Purpose and Themes

This book aims to help readers celebrate and enjoy the rich wisdom legacies of a teacher revealing a pure lotus blossoming from mud and the legacies of a peasant Jewish carpenter from Galilee revealing love on a cross.

Shared Values

Both teachers share the power of love, the joys of healing encouragement, and the creative resources of spirit-filled living.

Relevance Today

Their ancient words and their modern communities still following these paths are dynamically relevant for our modern context of confusion and challenge.
