This book is intended as an exercise in comparative religion for both Buddhists and Christians. The author assesses how the teachings of the Buddha and the Christ relate to each other, what they have in common and what is different, and how the teachings of each would work in the context of the teachings of the other. Could we see the Buddha and the Christ as complementary religious teachers of our world, or as fulfilling a similar spiritual need in different parts of the world? Could one have a kind of double spiritual citizenship by ackwledging both as his or her spiritual teacher? Or would such a claim mean having a religious citizenship that is in fact neither Buddhist r Christian?
