Every age has its visionaries. Bede Griffiths, the gentle Benedictine monk who traveled to India to seek the other half of his soul was one such spiritual giant. Like Mother Teresa and Thich Nhat Hanh, Father Bede's spirituality transcends sectarian labels. His Shantivanam ("Forest of Peace") monastery in India is Christian in faith but Hindu in lifestyle. The essays and stories in the moving tribute to Father Bede by such luminaries as Thomas Berry dissolve the boundaries between Christian belief and Eastern practice. Foreword by the Dalai Lama.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A collections of perspectives as a tribute to Bede,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Other Half of My Soul: Bede Griffiths and the Hindu-Christian Dialogue (Paperback)
Bede was a great inspiration. The difficulty I have with this book is that many of the writers have failed to fully grasp the beauty of Bede's simplicity. The analysis in the book are a little too academic and mental and do not generally match the shining clarity of Bede's work.
