Jesus, Buddha And The Tools Of Love

This talk was given at the North Carolina Zen Center on Easter morning. The first part discusses the idea of new beginnings in meditation. The second part examines Buddhist practices such as precepts, loving kindness, compassion and generosity as tools we use in the expression of love and care. The same attention is given to the beatitudes as Jesus preached them in the Sermon on the Mount, where we see the same love, the same care.

Your voice calms me down instantly. Your words bring comforting tears. There is relief in your being, and knowing from your would that we may all get through the darknesses of life and emerge each day with softness, love, and wisdom. Thank you for your work and for sharing your heart with the world.

This is a wonderful talk that addresses the heart of the teachings of both Jesus and Buddha. There is no separation. Only Love, Grace, and Compassion.
