For the first time, a study is published on the Orthodox understanding of Buddhism, starting with the authors of the 19th century and ending with modern works of the beginning of the 21st century. All the main points of similarities and differences between Christianity and Buddhism are analyzed in detail. The views on Buddhism of more than 17 authors from Russia, Greece, Serbia and English-speaking countries are considered. At the end of the book there is a thematic index with which you can find what has been said about points of Buddhist teaching, what has been said about Buddhist practice, what has been said about the comparison of Christianity and Buddhism, and what has been said about the history and modern activities of the Buddhist community. < p>Source:
