If you put aside what you think you know about Jesus and approach
the Gospels as though for the first time, something remarkable
happens: Jesus emerges as a teacher of radical wisdom and
compassion, whose aim is nothing less than the transformation of
human consciousness. His methods are as bold and surprising as a
Zen master's. And his aim is to break through our habitual thinking
and to effect a complete conversion of our minds and hearts.
Cynthia Bourgeault is our guide to rediscovering Jesus as a wisdom
master in the tradition of the Buddha and other teachers. She looks
to the Gospels, to contemplative experience, and to recently
discovered ancient Christian documents (such as the Nag Hammadi
scriptures and the Gospel of Thomas) to reveal a fresh new
understanding of Jesus and his teaching. What Jesus experienced,
she says, was a profound understanding of nonduality-the essential
oneness of all things-and his aim was to transmit this truth to
others experientially. She provides instruction in simple practices
from the Christian contemplative tradition that leads to the kind
of transformation Jesus taught.These include Centering Prayer, a
form of Christian meditation, and Lectio Divina: "Divine reading,"
a meditative practice unique to Christianity that intersperses slow
and deliberate reading of a text with silence, contemplation, and
prayer.
