BUDDHA AND CHRIST<br><br>
Student: What is the relationship between the Buddha and the
Christ?<br><br>
Chogyam Trungpa: I suppose, from the mahayana point of view of
benevolence and the point of view of sainthood, that they are like saints
talking to each other. Their relationship might be that of wakeful saints
coming from different traditions. One, Christ, came from the Jewish
tradition, and one, the Buddha, came from the Hindu tradition. Both were
stepping out of their traditions and beginning to teach a new kind of
truth, or an old truth in a new way. In some sense, what they were doing
was very close.<br><br>
From Talk Four of "Jamgon Kongtrul," an unpublished seminar,
Karme Choling, Vermont, April 1975.<br><br>
