Buddhism

The impetus of compassion for all living things is one, although I think Buddhist history outshines Christian history in that regard.

The biggest difference I see is that one has a personal, incarnate god, while the other, imo, holds that it doesn't matter, that the present, and how one spends it is what matters.

What I liked about this story is that the monks easily agreed to care for the nuns' shrine, that they saw echoes of Guanyin in Mary.

The documentary looks well done. I'll watch it tonight. Generally I'm skeptical of theories about hidden origins of Jesus. Sooner or later they all end up talking about the Templars. I'm happy enough to explore their teachings.
