Christians and Zen Buddhists?
Do you think that Christians can also be Zen Buddhists?
As I understand it, most Zen Buddhists do not worship Buddha as a god. The practice of Buddhist meditation is exactly like some of the most spiritual Christians’ description of prayer without words. Breath prayer has been an ancient practice for Christians.
How many passages in the Bible speak of mindfulness, of staying awake and aware? How many tools does modern Christianity as practiced by most protestants in America really given us to be able to do that?
Zen Buddhists, do you think that Christians belief in a God by necessity means that they (we) can’t also practice Zen Buddhism?
I think that Christians can (and many do) practice zazen.
