The 20th anniversary edition of the classic text, updated, revised, and featuring a Mindful Living Journal. Buddha and Christ, perhaps the two most pivotal figures in the history of humankind, each left behind a legacy of teachings and practices that have shaped the lives of billions of people over two millennia. If they were to meet on the road today, what would each think of the other's spiritual views and practices? Thich Nhat Hanh has been part of a decades-long dialogue between two great contemplatice traditions, and brings to Christianity an appreciation of its beauty that could be conveyed only by an outsider. IN lucid, meditative prose, he explores the crossroads of compassion and holiness at which the two traditions meet, and he reawakens our understanding of both. \"On the altar in my hermitage,\" he says, \"are images of Buddha and Jesus, and I touch both of them as my spiritual ancestors.\"","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781594482397","publication_date":"20070306","publisher":"Penguin Publishing Group","slug":"living-buddha-living-christ","subtitle":"20th Anniversary Edition","title":"Living Buddha, Living Christ"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"OCC027000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Spiritualism","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"REL007000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Buddhism - General","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"REL017000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Comparative Religion","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}],"hint":[],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"OCC027000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Spiritualism","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"REL007000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Buddhism - General","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"REL017000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Comparative Religion","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Spiritualism","score":1,"slug":"spiritualism"},{"label":"Buddhism - General","score":1,"slug":"buddhism-general"},{"label":"Comparative Religion","score":1,"slug":"comparative-religion"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Spiritualism","Good for readers interested in inspirational","Good for fans of Religion"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Lorna Byrne"],"book_id":"9780385528979","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780385528979.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":10.6718,"title":"Angels in My Hair","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780385528979"},{"authors":["Elizabeth Kubler-Ross","Caroline Myss","Elisabeth Kübler-Ross"],"book_id":"9781587613180","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781587613180.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":9.5343,"title":"On Life After Death, Revised","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781587613180"},{"authors":["Christine Valters Paintner","Kreg Yingst"],"book_id":"9781506492117","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781506492117.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":9.5322,"title":"A Different Kind of Fast","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781506492117"},{"authors":["Thich Nhat Hanh","Jason DeAntonis"],"book_id":"9781946764546","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781946764546.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":9.4312,"title":"How to Connect","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781946764546"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:spiritual books"],"label":"Spiritual","score":0.1442,"slug":"spiritual"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:inspirational books"],"label":"Inspirational","score":0.1126,"slug":"inspirational"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:easter books"],"label":"Easter","score":0.0753,"slug":"easter"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:spirituality"],"label":"Spirituality","score":0.0664,"slug":"spirituality"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Spiritual, Inspirational, Easter.","Reading lane: Spiritualism and Buddhism General.","Publisher: Penguin Publishing Group."]},"llm_signals":null,"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":false,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":0,"goodreads_ratings_count":19064,"goodreads_reviews_count":1047,"quality_score":0.9548}}
