PBS has released a new documentary about the Buddha’s life, complete with celebrity narration (by Richard Gere). It’s fascinating to me how people can be so intrigued by him, yet could completely miss him if he were here today…
An article in the Huffington Post inquires “What Does The Buddha Have To Do With Jesus?” Seems like a redundant question–duh, they were both enlightened. Rather than favoring brevity, the author takes ages to preach about interreligious dialogue.
But we are terribly short of thinkers and practitioners, clergy and lay, who can think these two traditions together.
Once again, spiritual experience being reduced to religious philosophy. Sad.
Or… See what Sadhguru has said about enlightenment/grace in the bible.
“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” (Matthew 6:22)
‘If thine eye be single’ means that you are no more discriminatory. You are seeing everything as one; you are seeing everything as the same. If you become like this, your body shall be filled with light, and that is Grace.
Thanks, Ganesh for the video link!
