Abstract
This chapter probes into what Christians can learn from Buddhism. In the chapter, the author of Without Buddha I Could Not Be a Christian explores Buddhist-Christian dialogue from the perspective of suffering. It begins with an analysis of the Buddhist and Christian understandings of suffering, the starting point for the teachings of Jesus and Buddha. It then discusses the shared diagnosis of suffering, examines the different remedies prescribed, and posits a complementary liberative praxis between the two traditions. Its thrust is that Christianity invites Buddhists to a greater awareness of the importance of social transformation, while Buddhism reminds Christians not to neglect inner-personal transformation in their pursuit of social change.
