Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Nhat Hanh - For the Christian seeking Buddhist insight.

If you have always assumed that Christianity and Buddhism are as far apart philosophically as their respective founders were geographically, you may be in for a bit of a surprise. In this national bestseller, Zen monk and social activist Thich Nhat Hanh draws parallels between these two traditions that have them walking, hand in hand, down the same path to salvation. In Christianity, he finds mindfulness in the Holy Spirit as an agent of healing. In Buddhism, he finds unqualified love in the form of compassion for all living things. And in both he finds an emphasis on living practice and community spirit.

The thread that binds the book is the same theme that draws many Christians toward Buddhism: mindfulness. Through anecdotes, scripture references, and teachings from both traditions, Nhat Hanh points out that mindfulness is an integral part of all religious practice and teaches us how to cultivate it in our own lives. Nhat Hanh has no desire to downplay the venerable theological and ritual teachings that distinguish Buddhism and Christianity, but he does cause one to consider that beyond the letter of doctrine lies a unity of truth.

For the Christian seeking Buddhist insight.
Another great one from TNH. Everything he writes is beautiful. He makes Buddhism relatable to a Christian audience. This was one of the early books I read when I began my study of Buddhism which has ultimately deepened my understanding of Christianity in a way that I find much more amenable to the modern age of science and reason. Read in conjunction with TNH's Going Home: Jesus and Buddha as Brothers.
