Wow! This is so inspiring to learn how they are serving those in prison. While visiting northern India, we saw the Bodhi tree where Buddha received “awakening”. Jesus is purported to have visited there before his ministry began. He learned much from India’s spiritual leaders and ancient civilization.
Interfaith appreciation brings us all together. What a joy that Jesus’ prayer, “Father, may we all be one” is taking place in our midst! Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you for this latest interview on Buddhism. I really love these interfaith series videos. It’s great learning how people of other faiths are ministering to those in need, including those in prison. I look forward to the next interview in this series. Thank you so much!!!

Thanks.
I too am studying Buddhism and Hinduism to get a better understanding of these faiths. We have so much in common. We all want to relieve suffering.

I’m studying Indian spirituality – Buddhism and Hinduism – right now and greatly appreciating the insights into how a regular meditation practice can lift thought above the conditioned mind’s negative tendencies into a pure or pristine mind, which one Buddhist author says is our natural state of mind. Like how “Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, the Christian’s native air” (CS hymn 284). Thank you for this second in Light in Prison’s Interfaith Series.

Thanks! This was a most helpful introduction into Buddhism. How wonderful to be learning more of what we all have in common, a desire to relieve others of suffering in whatever form. And to help bring about blessing and healing.
