Zen: The Art of Meditation If Buddha's message is rightly understood there will be meeting of East and West. In Buddha both can meet. His message is of relaxed attentiveness-you have to be very relaxed and yet alert. And it is possible. And only this possibility will make you a whole man a holy man. Otherwise you will remain half-and a half man is always miserable. The west is miserable spiritually the East is miserable materially. And man needs both. With Buddha a new age can dawn. And the secret is simple: learn relaxed awareness. I Say Unto You-Vol.1 What if Jesus were not a supernatural being conceived by a virgin, but a real human being who had experienced the awakening of consciousness known as "enlightenment" in the East? This extraordinary line-by-line commentary on some of the best-known Gospels from the New Testament tests the hypothesis that Jesus was a mystic not a miracle worker. And convincingly makes the case that the stories of his life were never meant to be a factual record of history, but rather are teaching parables designed to provide ongoing spiritual guidance for generations to come.I will speak on Christ, but not on Christianity. Christianity has nothing to do with Christ. In fact, Christianity is anti-Christ...just as Buddhism is anti-Buddha and Jainism anti-Mahavir. Christ has something in him, which cannot be organized. The very nature of it is rebellion and a rebellion cannot be organized. The moment you organize it, you kill it. Then the dead corpse remains. You can worship it, but you cannot be transformed by it. You can carry the load for centuries and centuries, but it will only burden you, it will not liberate you. That's why, from the beginning, let it be absolutely clear: I am all for Christ, but not even a small part of me is for Christianity. If you want Christ, you have to go beyond Christianity. If you cling too much to Christianity, you will not be able to understand Christ. Christ is beyond all churches.
