  <description><![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;This beautifully designed gift edition of Jesus and Buddha: The Parallel Sayings is treasured for both its message and its presentation. The teachings &#8212; whether about love, wisdom, or materialism &#8212; of two great spiritual leaders from very different traditions guide readers along the same path. With 80 color photos and 20 color illustrations complementing the universal truths that these two proclaimed, this book is both an illuminating oracle of wisdom and a compelling anthology of the key beliefs of two great religions.&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a great idea for a book, but the execution wasn't what I had hoped for.  It was as if Kornfield was matching on words rather than meaning.  Many of the &quot;parallel sayings&quot; have similar words but appear to be expressing very different ideas.

    <body><![CDATA[I've often been struck on how similar all the Salvationist religions seem to be. It's unfortunate that most of the world chooses to ignore the similarities and instead wishes to hate each other based on doctrinal differences. Just look at the current Middle Eastern situation.

    <![CDATA[If Jesus and Buddha were to meet, they would recognize one another as fellow prophets because they were teaching the same truths. This is the spirit conveyed, both in words and images, by this lavishly illustrated gift book.    <p>Readers will cherish both the book's message and presentation. Here are two great spiritual teachers from two very different traditions guiding us - whether talking about love, wisdom, or materialism - along the same path.    <p>Using meditative color photos to complement the universal truths these two charismatic figures proclaimed, this - the first trade paper edition of the illustrated edition - is an important and illuminating oracle of wisdom for all who believe that the spiritual outweighs the material. At the same time, it is a fascinating and appealing anthology of key beliefs within two of the world's great religions.</p></p>]]>
