The Good Heart – A Buddhist Perspective on the Teachings of Jesus 1996
The Good Heart – A Buddhist Perspective on the Teachings of Jesus is a 1996 book written by the 14th Dalai Lama, who shares his views on the teachings of Jesus through a Buddhist lens. The work was published by Wisdom Publications and stems from a 1994 seminar held at the John Main, a center for Christian meditation linked to the Benedictine order. At the event, the Dalai Lama provided interpretations of eight passages taken from the four canonical Gospels.
This book explores connections between Jesus and Gautama Buddha, analyzing both similarities and distinctions between their traditions. It highlights common values while acknowledging unique aspects of major world religions. The Dalai Lama encourages readers to recognize the variety of spiritual paths available. A goal of the seminar was to promote dialogue between Christian and Buddhist communities.
