Books like Living Buddha, Living Christ

One of the biggest problems I have with organized religion is the amount of time it spends trying to foist its ideals on you while trying to convince you that anything you believed before you came to them is wrong. Rest assured, I have no intention of doing that here. I was raised a Baptist, and baptized a Catholic. Yet I tend to find the most comfort in books centered around Buddhism. This is not to say that I am a Buddhist. I am spiritual, if a label must be assigned. I can see the benefit of both belief systems, without surrendering to their dogma. Thich Nhat Hanh is fine with that. And that may be why I enjoy reading his material so much. If anything, Hanh stresses the importance of not giving into "religious imperialism," or as I like to call it, "my God is better than your God." Hanh shows how one can make both belief systems work for you, and bring about peace of mind. Nothing else I say about this book will do it justice. The best thing you can do is read it for yourself, and see where it takes you.Enjoy.
