A small but growing number Christians in
the West are turning to Buddhism for spiritual guidance. Many are
reading books about Buddhism, and some are also meditating,
participating in Buddhist retreats, and studying under Buddhist
teachers. They are drawn to Buddhism’s emphasis on “being present” in
the present moment; to its recognition of the interconnectedness of all
things; to its emphasis on non-violence; to its appreciation of a world
beyond words, and to its provision of practical means — namely
meditation — for growing in one’s capacities for wise and compassionate
living in daily life. As they learn from Buddhism, they do not abandon
Christianity. Their hope is that Buddhism can help them become better
Christians. They are Christians influenced by Buddhism.
