Now, through personal anecdotes and thoughtful comparison, four prominent Buddhist scholarsincluding Joseph Goldstein and Yifareveal how the wisdom of each tradition can revitalize the other. Benedict's Dharma is a lively and compelling dialogue which will appeal not only to Buddhists and Christians, but to anyone interested in rediscovering the value of an ancient discipline in the modern world.
