Beschreibung

In 'Hinduism and Buddhism' (Vol. 1-3), Charles Eliot masterfully navigates the intricate tapestry of these two influential religions, presenting an insightful exploration of their philosophical underpinnings, historical evolution, and cultural contexts. Written in a clear and engaging prose style characteristic of early 20th-century scholarship, Eliot's work stands out for its systematic approach and depth of analysis. He delves into the foundational texts, key figures, and core beliefs of both faiths while also situating them within the broader landscape of world religions, thereby fostering a comprehensive understanding of their distinct yet interwoven identities. Charles Eliot's scholarly background and profound interest in Eastern philosophies significantly shaped his approach to 'Hinduism and Buddhism.' Having served as the president of the University of California and held various academic positions, Eliot's exposure to diverse cultures and philosophies led him to undertake this work. His commitment to fostering intercultural understanding is apparent, as he sought to demystify these religions for a predominantly Western audience, bridging gaps in knowledge and appreciation. This work is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the complexities of Hinduism and Buddhism. Eliot's rigorous analysis not only enhances knowledge but also encourages readers to appreciate the rich spiritual traditions that continue to resonate worldwide.

    "Faith is breathing in the oxygen of God's grace, giving life to my once-dead heart." —Paul David Tripp  As breath is to the body, so faith is to the Christian life. Through 40 daily meditations from his best-selling devotional New Morning Mercies, popular author and speaker Paul David Tripp explores how deep-seated trust in God and his word radically alters not only the way we think, but also the way we live. Tripp urges us not to rely on our own wisdom, experience, and strength—but to ask God to transform us into people who live by faith with a radical, God-centered point of view.

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 134 by Elizabeth J. A. Harris, A Journey into Buddhism narrated by Ethan Christy. 
     
    Excerpt: 
    "The themes of the talks are rooted in my journey, as a Christian, into Buddhism. In the mid-1980s I felt the need to ’let go’ of my own religious conditioning to enter the world of another faith. It grew from a conviction that people with an interest in religion should not remain imprisoned within one framework but should explore others. The choice of Buddhism and Sri Lanka was a natural one for me. Buddhism’s emphasis on meditation and non-violence touched my own interests as a Christian, and a visit to Sri Lanka in 1984 had left me with the feeling that my link with the island was not finished. 
    I originally intended to be in Sri Lanka for one year. One year, however, became seven and a half, from 1986 until 1993. My aim throughout was not only to study Buddhism but to practise it. I did not consider myself involved in ’interfaith dialogue’ although I’m sure some perceived my actions in this way. I wanted to enter Buddhism on its own terms, as a human being rather than as a Christian." 
     
    The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V. The eBook of Bodhi Leaves No. 134 can be downloaded from the BPS website.

    In this book, the author, Z.T. Fomum, testifies to the visitation of God during a retreat in Beijing, China. 
    Before the splendour and greatness of God, he was driven, having perceived the vision of God concerning him, to condemn himself and to confess his nothingness. This breaking is expressed by the expression: "I am nothing." 
    It is an audiobook to listen to in order to touch the indelible marks of God in the life of Professor Fomum.
