From Genesis to the Diamond Sutra
A Western Buddhist's encounters with
Christianity
by Sangharakshita
|  I
wanted to share my experience, and my reflections
on my experience, with those Western Buddhists who,
like me, grew up within a Christian culture.
From Genesis to the Diamond Sutra offers one Western Buddhist’s experience
of Christianity and Christians. Through memoir and reflection Sangharakshita
reviews his encounters with Christianity and the impact on him of its beliefs,
culture, and people.
Sharing his appreciation of what is great in Christian art, literature, and music,
Sangharakshita sets against this what he sees as an iron framework of dogma that
has in various ways restricted intellectual and spiritual life.
The author, Sangharakshita, was born in England and spent twenty years in India
as a Buddhist monk before returning to England in the 1960s.

Believe
nothing merely because you have been told it... Do not believe
what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the
teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis,
you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit,
the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling
to and take it as your guide.
The Buddha
