James Heisig has spent his life traveling along many roads-living in Japan, Spain, England, and the United States, and listening to other religious traditions while remaining a Roman Catholic. In this book, Heisig draws from this worldly insight, and presents an invaluable dialogue between Christianity and Buddhism.
Having read with admiration Heisig's monumental "Philosophers of Nothingness" I was curious to see what his new book would add to it. As it turns out, it it is a completely different genre: a collection of essays on a variety of topics from ecology to medical ethics to Buddhist-Christian dialogue. As always, Heisig's style is seductive and his eye for the heart of the question sharp. The opening essay on the notion of sufficiency as seen through an early Buddhist sutra is a spiritual gem on this string of perls.
