"[Thich Nhat Hanh] shows us the connection between personal, inner peace and peace on earth." --His Holiness The Dalai Lama

Nominated by Martin Luther King, Jr. for a Nobel Peace Prize, Thich Nhat Hanh is one of today’s leading sources of wisdom, peace, compassion and comfort.

Exiled from Vietnam over thirty years ago, Thich Nhat Hanh 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, Thich Nhat Hanh 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."

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man, for he is humble and devout. He is a scholar of immense intellectual capacity. His ideas for peace if applied, would build a monument of ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity." —Martin Luther King, Jr.

"He shows us the connection between personal, inner peace, and peace on earth."—His Holiness The Dalai Lama

"Nhat Hanh tells people not to abandon their own religious traditions, but to use Buddhist meditation to rediscover the values in those traditions." —The Seattle Times

From the Back Cover

Exiled from Vietnam over thirty years ago, Thich Nhat Hanh has become known as a healer of the heart, a monk who knows how the everyday world can, paradoxically, 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, Thich Nhat Hanh 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".

For a religious runaway always looking to "go home"...

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2020

Loved this. I read a ton of Richard Rohr and other Christian mystics in his circle - this books lines up beautifully with JUST THIS. The gentleness in the writing. The depth of every small section in each chapter - there is SO much to unpack. So much to read and re-read. The words of my heart are finally being spoken out in this book. AWESOME read and one to come back to again and again. Just as we go home, again and again.

Trilogy Poetry Review

Going Home - Excellent Book Regarding Buddhism and Christianity

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2009

Verified Purchase

This is an exceptionally well written text regarding the relationship between Buddhism and Christianity by Thich Nhat Hahn. This book is truly stimulating to the mind. It relaxes the soul and sends a feeling of tranquility and mindfulness. Reading this book, will give a person an understanding of the practices and principles of the relationship regarding Buddhism and Christianity.

Reading and understanding this book should bring a smile to the face of the reader. It is comprehensive, educational, and the words flow quite well. This is not a difficult book to read and understand. The text is easy to follow. It was not written as rocket science. The theme throughout the book is clear, and the teachings of Buddhism easily understood.

The book touches on understanding, mindfulness in meditation and all things, the birth of love, cultivating our home, finding refuge, seeking the body of truth, Jesus and Buddha as brothers, and many other informative and enlightening subjects.

Anyone seeking an understanding of Buddhism should read this enlightening book. The book is practical, straightforward and does not hide the truth. It gives an excellent understanding of "The Four Noble Truths," and the teaching relates to one's life on the path to enlightenment.

The Venerable Thich Nhat Hahn, who is the founder of Plum Village in France, has dedicated his life to Buddhism. He has written over one hundred books on a variety of subjects, and has founded many instructions of higher learning.

One must read this book with an open mind of learning and must be ready to acquire the knowledge being presented or sought. Hahn touches on a variety of positive thoughts and principles one should find wholesome and progressive for enlightenment. This is truly an interesting book to read and to learn from. It is truly a beacon on the path to enlightenment.

Considering a Zen Monk wrote this it is mostly about Buddhism, but the author makes readers aware to believe in the stories of Jesus. Like when he meditated for 40 days and acquired special healing powers. I didn't really believe that before about Jesus. Now....who knows. Basically achieving Nirvana is the equivalent of becoming a God. I never really thought about it like that before. It was a really interesting read.

Sweet nectar for the western "soul"

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 18, 2011

Verified Purchase

What a great read. Sweet nectar for the western "soul". I say this because so many of us in the west have been so influenced by a Christian or even post-Christian mindset. The author builds bridges to make it all count; to help us see the similaities; to bring wisdom from the two traditions together in an awesomely synergistic way. I'm a theologian, by training, but I've gained some sharp insights into God by this book.
His idea of God runs closely to that of Tillich: the ground of being; the water beyond and in the wave, the river and the rain drop. The unitive reality beyond the changing phenomena.
Deceptively profound for such a waist coat pocket edition, he also looks at the personhood of God and humans, duality; worship and devotion in both traditions.
A sweet book that makes my soul sing and like all this chap's stuff, leads me to meditate and pray within my heart and mind. That's a 5 stars for me therefore.
