Going Home: Jesus & Buddha as Brothers

Join Rev. Laurie at the Parish House Wednesday evenings during Epiphany as we explore the book “Going Home: Jesus and Buddha as Brothers” by Thich Nhat Hanh.

Exiled from Vietnam more than 30 years ago, Thich Nhat Hanh became known as a healer with the heart, a monk who shows us how the everyday world can both enrich and endanger our spiritual lives.

In this book, Jesus and Buddha share a conversation about prayer and ritual and renewal, and about where such concepts as resurrection and the practice of mindfulness converge. In this unique way, Thich Nhat Hanh shows the brotherhood between Jesus and Buddha—and in the process shows how we can take their wisdom into the world with us, to “practice in such a way that Buddha is born every moment of our daily life, that Jesus Christ is born every moment of our daily life.”
