About This Book
"I'm going to learn from the Buddhists. Specifically, I'm hoping that they will teach me how to be a better ChristianâŚ" Christian pastor John Mabry went on a most amazing interfaith pilgrimageâto visit the most significant sites of the Buddha's life and to reflect deeply on what he saw, in conversation with his own faith⌠an introspective look at the similarities and differences in the religions of Buddhism and Christianity. From there, his journey took him to Nepal, Thailand, Taiwan and back to India as he followed the distribution and development of the Buddhist religion around the world. Part travelogue, part history lesson, part interfaith theological reflection, this record of that spiritual journey captures both the frailty and profundity of the human religious quest.
