Product Description
10th anniversary edition of the classic text, updated, revised, and featuring a Mindful Living Journal.
Buddha and Christ, perhaps the two most pivotal figures in the history of humankind, each left behind a legacy of teachings and practices that have shaped the lives of billions of people over two millennia. If they were to meet on the road today, what would each think of the other's spiritual views and practices? In this classic text for spiritual seekers, Thich Nhat Hanh explores the crossroads of compassion and holiness at which the two traditions meet, and he reawakens our understanding of both.

 A cool, gentle breeze in July July 12, 2010
Matthew J. Schimpf (Niagara Falls, NY)
A relatively small treatise that is pregnant with profundity, joy and the conviction of connectedness. Thich Nhat Hanh has produced a work that clearly elucidates the over lapping nature of Christian and Buddhist thought and thereby brings into an open empty space, the ontology of Sanatana Dharma or the truth - that WHICH IS. In a gentle, flowing style the author contends and successfully illustrates that all forms (e.g. Christianity) are made up of non-Christian elements and likewise Buddhism. This work is just another shining example of the similar, if not identical nature of enlightenment, awakening, or salvation. A fine read, 4 stars from me, with gratitude.
 Buddha & Christ: Spiritual Father & Son June 12, 2010
Son of man (Where the body is)
I have read just about every book I could find that has tried to reconcile Buddhism with Christianity to varying degrees, and although Living Buddha Living Christ falls short of complete reconciliation, it is a good read nonetheless. People seeking deeper connections between the two greatest teachers of East and West should download this free eBook "Buddha & Christ: Spiritual Father and Son" that deals with the topic as never before:

Highly reccommended for those wanting to know how the Buddha and the Christ are truly related to each other.

The book was clean and in excellent shape. It cost much less than in the book stores.
Great commentary on both Buddhism and Christianity February 5, 2010

I don't always like Thich Nhat Hanh's way of looking at Buddhism--he's sometimes too touchy-feely for me, and he gets a little repetitious with what I think can be interpreted as an over-emphasis on mindfulness at the apparent expense of the other seven parts of the eightfold path. Also, I'm not particularly interested in Christianity.
That said, this is a great book! By focusing on similarities and relationships between the dharma and Christian practice, to which most westerners will relate, he makes Buddhist concepts like emptiness much more "graspable" to the western mind. I imagine there are Christians who will object to some of his interpretations of Christian doctrine, but overall, it's a good study.
I facilitate a Buddhist meditation practice group in Florida, and know there are many Christians who are interested in Buddhism, meditation, etc., but don't want to give up their Christian beliefs. This book provides a good framework for integrating the two practices. I highly recommend it, and also the companion work, "Going Home: Jesus and Buddha as Brothers."
Thich Nhat Hanh writes with moving eloquence in the true spirit of brotherhood. January 18, 2010

Thich Nhat Hanh writes with moving eloquence in the true spirit of brotherhood. His voice bridges the perceived gaps between religions and so movingly helps us to focus on our commonalities, rather than our differences. A classic inter-religious text. Beautiful.
