Par Čestertonu nezinu, bet - ja gadījumā tu to saki -, nostāja budisms=labi, kristietība=slikti vai otrādi man šķiet maldi un šķērslis "uz apskaidrību". Kaut ko tādu parasti saka cilvēki, kas nepārzina paši savas tradīcijas mantojumu; katoļus, kas iedziļinās budismā un tad savā katolicismā ir vīlušies un grib konvertēties, jo domā, ka k. skatās nepareizā virzienā vai arī ir kā rumpis bez kājām, mēdz sūtīt, piemēram, uz šejieni: http://www.eckhartsociety.org (bet es nosūtītu arī uz Sv.Jāņa no Krusta "Uzkāpšanu Karmela kalnā", Avilas Terēzi un virkni 20. gs. teologu)

The first Chairman and founder of the Eckhart Society, Ursula Fleming, went to a wise and respected Buddhist friend and asked "Can an intelligent person be a Christian?" The Buddhist answered with the suggestion that she should try reading Meister Eckhart. Thereafter, following initial incomprehension, she answered her original question affirmatively and backed up her decision by becoming a lay Dominican and, eventually, by founding the society. Her successor as Chairman quite independently and without ever having met her, consulted the same Buddhist in 1976 when seeking instruction on contemplative prayer and meditation. He was advised to explore prayer of the heart as taught by the fathers of the Church.
