| Summary |
This book draws on a unique dual perspective of Tibetan Buddhism and Catholicism to explore the value of interreligious dialogue, the spiritual dynamics that operate across faith traditions, and how Buddhist meditation practices can deepen Christian prayer. The centre of the book offers fifteen Tibetan Buddhist contemplative practices, adapted for Christian use. The author provides clear instructions on how to do these meditations and helpful commentary on each, explaining its purpose and the relation between the Buddhist original and the Christian adaptation of it |
