Richard Rohr

Unitive Consciousness
The Franciscan monk and author describes how Buddhist teachings and practices can help Christians touch their mystical roots.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Home is the Way- A Christmas Message
Both Jesus and Siddhartha were searching for their true home. They wanted to find a warm abode where they would not have to search for anything anymore and where they would feel truly at home and at peace.

Paul Knitter

God/Love: the compassionate energy of the interconnecting spirit.
. . . "Buddhism is a way of helping Christians to perhaps come to a 
deeper and I would say more personal, more mystical experience of God."

Katherine Franson

Eyes of Thich Nhat Hanh
In a sermon to her church, an American Baptist minister asks, "What does Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh think of Jesus? What difference does that make to me, to you?"

David Stendl-Rast

Faith, Mysticism, and Prayer
A video in which the Catholic monk and long-time Buddhist practitioner talks about "the essence" of all spirituality and the importance of intereligious dialogue.

Thich Nhat Hanh

The Holy Spirit and Mindfulness
The Buddhist teacher compares the Christian notion of "the Holy Spirit" to the Buddhist notion of the energy of mindfulness.

Thich Nhat Hanh
Going Back to Our Religious Roots.
Thich Nhat Hanh's answer to a student's question, "What do you mean when you say to go back to our religious roots? How can we do that and continue to study and practice Buddhism, which is so practical and helpful?"

Anthony Demello, s.j.
Conversations with the Master/Awareness
The Jesuit priest, author and spiritual teacher says spirituality is only "waking up".

Mike McMahon
An Introduction to Buddhist/Christian Dialogue
Two brief reflections to help facilitate the dialogue.

Mike McMahon

A Lotus Blooming in the Catholic Church
A birth Catholic and long-time Buddhist practitioner who returned to the Catholic church shares his adventures practicing simultaneously in the Catholic and Buddhist traditions

Mike Mcmahon

Buddhist Approach to Doctrine
According to the Buddhist experience of deep reality through meditation, all theology, all concepts are only relative truth, pointing to the absolute.

Joan Chittister

Practice Compassion and Someday You Will Become  It
The Catholic nun reflects on her experiences in attending the opening of the Buddhist Dharma Drum Monastery meditation hall.

Thomas MErton
Notes From Thomas Merton's Asian Journal
In 1968 Thomas Merton went to Asia to explore Asain culture and spirituality and to find a Buddhist teacher to study and practice with. The paragraph below is an exerpt from the final talk he gave on the day of his unexpected death in Bangkok on December 10th 1968.

Paul Knitter

Paul Knitter- Without the Buddha, I Could Not Be a Christian- 
Interview with the National Catholic Reporter

"So for me now when I say the word God, what I image, what I feel, thanks to Buddhism, is the interconnecting spirit -- this ever-present spirit, this ever-present, interconnecting energy that is not a person, but is very personal, that this is the mystery that surrounds me, that contains me, and which I am in contact with in the Eucharist, in liturgies, and especially in meditation."
