An intelligent and spirited debate, that respects both Buddhism and Christianity while being steadfast and honest about their differences.
A perfect model of interfaith communication, something that is desperately needed.

A wonderful comparision of Christianity and Buddism as only The Dalai Lama could explain. This is a complex read and spurs reflection on one's beliefs.

This is a difficult book to read and that's why I initially gave it four stars. But in retrospect, it is so worth the effort. There is so much food for the mind, soul and spirit here. It's definitely a five star. Just stay with it...it can get a little like work at times.

This book is a discussion with the Dalai Lama and Christian/Catholic priests and teachers. I loved the comparisons between Buddhism and Christianity and the commonality found in the teachings. Truth is truth, no matter where it is found.
