Description

The Sermon on the Mount is a condensed summary of some of Jesus's key teachings. Some of the teachings bear a remarkable resemblance to those of the Buddha. In fact, in the author's experience, Buddhist insights and practices can help with an understanding, and putting into practice, Jesus's words. Following a summary of key Buddhist teachings, paraphrases of both the Dhammapada (Buddha's words) and the Sermon on the Mount are presented in a way intended to evoke insights rather than offer explanations. There is a lot of open space on these pages; spaces in which reader's can write or drawn.

Author Biography:

Carolyn Sweers grew up on an Iowa farm in the 1950's. It was there that she had her first experiences of the profound truths she tries to describe in this book. These experiences, more than any others, shaped her life and led her to a career as a philosophy student and teacher. This book and others that she has had published recently, have a shared objective: to evoke insight in the reader. She knows from experience the importance of finding what Kierkegaard called "the truth for me." And, she shares the Socratic conviction that people have within them this truth. It simply needs to be evoked. That is what this book attempts to do.
