About this title

Synopsis

Important Buddhist scholars share their insights into the rule of Saint Benedict, revealing surprising common ground shared by the monastic traditions of Christianity and Buddhism.

Review

"'Benedict's Dharma combines the thrill of watching a dazzling performance with the secret pleaseure of revesdropping on a private conversation. In commenting on the rule of St Benedict, the contributors are not trying to say anything new or startling, yet, for that very reason, they do. I am deeply grateful for this book.' Brother David Steindl-Rast OSB"
