Buddha and Jesus

Absolutely love the author.

Ditto, but I have to admit that my favorite by far is Tibetan monk Matthieu Ricard. His book "The Monk & the Philosopher" that he co-wrote with his father, is just unbelievably deep and thought-provoking. All too often I would read a paragraph or two and have to go back and reread it to try and figure out what was actually being said.

Thanks Metis. I am adding that to my must read list.

how many of you thank they came from the same place. how similar are their teachings?

There can not be many truths, but there can be many ways of expressing it linguistically, culturally, philosophically.
