From Buddha to Christ

This book has a twofold purpose. First, it is intended to provide a new insight for those gentle people who are still enamored of the retiring compassion of Buddhism. Anyone, however, who feels the Eastern way to be more comforting than that of the West will benefit form a careful reading of what Rudolf Steiner has to say here. Westerners, for their part, will discover a bridge to Eastern thought that they probably did not know exists. Second, it should provide an introduction to Rudolf Steiner's gradual unfoldment, over a period of ten years, of the exalted relationship between Buddha and Christ, of Buddhism and Christianity. Beginning with Christianity as Mystical Fact, which was published in 1902, until the final lectures on Buddha in 1912, he forms the pieces and puts them together with he solidity of building blocks. The final structure stands as one of the most impressive esoteric denouements of the twentieth century.

Five lectures from GA 109, GA 58, GA 60 and GA 130
