(as found in ‘Forms of Prayer: Days of Awe’, Eleazar ben Shimon, second century CE, son of Shimon bar Yochai)

A Christian Perspective on Judgement and Salvation

A Buddhist Perspective on Judgement and Salvation

Amaranatho — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 21:00:57 +0000

Each month us liberal-minded inter-faithers, do-gooder types, come together to discuss and evaluate the essays that we present for you to read. This is done through the generosity of our Christian friends, the Church of England, who have set up this group. At the end of each meeting we pick a title, which has been agreed to be so-called liberal. This time Judgement and Salvation was chosen, and my mind is getting tired of Christian themes. What about Buddhist themes? What about our Humanist friends? (Actually, one monk told me the other day they are all going to hell).

Why Buddhism needs the west

Amaranatho — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 16:14:39 +0000

In an oft-cited statement, which might be apocryphal, the British historian Arnold Toynbee said, “The coming of Buddhism to the West may well prove to be the most important event of the twentieth century.” Given the monumental social, political, and scientific changes of the last century, that claim seems pretty unlikely. But Toynbee may have noticed something the rest of us need to see: that the interaction between Buddhism and the West is crucial today, because each emphasizes something the other is missing.
