The book embraces the impressive consistencies between the supposed words of the Buddha and of Jesus, despite their separation by 500 years. This suggests a high level of spiritual interaction across the region from India to the Middle East through those centuries. While differences have often been highlighted between the religions that grew from the insights of these masters, this study takes the approach of comparing some of what might have been their earliest teachings – and it reveals a single truth. The book uses as its base, sayings that some think may be attributable directly to Jesus, free of the additions that make the Gospels part of the rich literature of the New Testament. These possible words are then rendered into Buddhist terminology to reveal the common theme. Discussion of the congruence between the two traditions spans relevant aspects of history, religion, and spiritual and personal development.

THE BUDDHA’S GOSPEL - A BUDDHIST INTERPRETATION OF JESUS' WORDS (2002)
EN NW EB DLISBN: 9780646420714 bzw. 0646420712, in Englisch, 83 Seiten, Institute for International Development, Adelaide, neu, E-Book, elektronischer Download.

Described as ‘unique and a great service to understanding’, this book is intended for three groups; Western Buddhists, that bulk of the West that have no religious affiliation yet know there is something more to life, and Buddhists in Asia who follow the encounter of the dharma with the West. It highlights the pervasive similarities in the teachings of Jesus and the Buddha as they were probably originally presented. In its six chapters and appendix, it compares the two great teachers, the Buddha and Jesus, briefly charts the process by which experts have produced words readily attributed to Jesus and presents a Buddhist ‘imitation’ of these words based on the hypothetical ‘Sayings of Jesus’. It then considers congruence between the Buddha’s and Jesus’ teachings before offering both Buddhist and Christian interpretations. An appendix re-presents the Buddhist imitation of Jesus’ words as a continuous text. Dr. Falvey introduces his work ... ‘Jesus speaking the Buddha’s words’ exudes audacity and ignorance, yet this work essentially wrote itself as a product of my socialization, a modicum of Christian theological study and its explication through three decades of casual association with Thai Buddhism. Differences between the two traditions – such as Christianity relying on a God while Buddhism denies the existence of a God proved themselves facile upon consideration of the metaphorical intent of teachings of both traditions.
