The Koans of Jesus

In Junior High, I memorized the Sermon on the Mount.  I was bored in a church membership class  and wanted a challenge.  I had little concern for what the words meant.  That changed in the mid 1990’s after I had attended a number of intensive Buddhist retreats in the Vipassana tradition.  I was struck by the similarity between some of Jesus’s words in the Sermon on the Mount and the teachings of Buddha.   Thus began a project, now decades long, of attempting to integrate the two.  The result is this little book.
