Despite the long history of mysticism within Christianity, more and more Christians are turning to Eastern religions for spiritual guidance. Some have abandoned the religion of their
infanthood, believing they’ve found the “
pearl of great price” in Eastern meditation. Christian insight meditation places Buddhist meditation within the Christian prayer tradition, guiding followers through a process of inner purification that leads to a deeper Christian faith and to the direct vision of God. Also drawing onthe teaching of Teresa of Avila, this inspi
ring book offers reliable guidance in learning the practice, allowing readers to follow in the footsteps of John of the Cross, while answe
ring questions they may have about Christian grace and the Buddhist dhamma; karma, rebirth, and purgatory; and the Buddhist no-self and Christian soul. Readers will discover the power of Christian insight meditation to b
ring inner peace and healing and to deepen and enhance their Christian life.

clears up the questions
If ever you felt 'not sure' about combining meditation with your Christian beliefs, this book will be a comforting and factual read. The parallels are well presented, and well researched. And the instruction is precise and accurate. I would highly recommend this book, and this author. There's even a help email address for any questions. I have used it and was delighted with a quick response directly from the author herself. What more can I ask for?
