Buddhism in Christendom Or Jesus the Essene is a book written by Arthur Lillie that explores the similarities between Buddhism and Christianity, specifically focusing on the idea that Jesus was an Essene, a Jewish sect that shared many beliefs and practices with Buddhism. Lillie argues that the teachings of Jesus and the Buddha are fundamentally similar, and that both religions emphasize compassion, non-violence, and inner peace. The book also delves into the history of the Essenes and their influence on early Christianity, as well as the potential impact of Buddhist philosophy on Western culture. Overall, Buddhism in Christendom Or Jesus the Essene offers a unique perspective on the intersection of two major world religions and their shared spiritual values.1887. It has been wisely said that, to understand any solitary religion, two, at least, must be studied. This seems essentially important when the religion is Eastern, and the student has been educated in the West. There is a tendency in the human mind to explain to itself that which is remote by that which is familiar. The Western mind is logical, matter of fact, impatient of symbolism. And yet, Christianity is an Asiatic religion, and all Asiatics tell us that symbolism is the only language by which the facts of the spiritual world can be treated.
