Title: Living Buddha, Living Christ
Review: I received the book as a gift. I found it thoughtfully written, well intended, and engaging. Having more than a passing acquaintance with "indigenous Buddhism" and having lived a few blocks from one of the largest Buddhist Temples in North America ( a Thai Temple in L.A.)the author puts a very different "Nouveau/California/New Age face on Buddhism. His quotations from the Bible are out of context and misapplied. I commend him for his desire to get along with others peacefully but his understanding of Christ, what Christ claimed about himself and other concepts from the Bible are flawed. His version of Buddhism, with a decidedly post modern flair is a far cry from what is practiced around the world, including Tibetan Buddhism.
