The Porallel Sayings; No matter how different the world's religions
appear, at their core are universal messages that transcend time,
culture and faith. This book reveals the parallel sayings of two
orthe world's greatest spititual teachers-Jesus and LaoTzu (the
father of taoism and author of The Tao Te Ching). Side by side,
page after page the parallels are presented with minimal clarifying
explanation so readers can witness the striking similaries between
the teachings and meditate on their shared message. In series that
began with Jesus and Buddha: The Parallel Sayings; Offers the first
comprehensive collection of parallel sayings from Jesus and Lao Tzu
ever compiled; Offers evidence of a universally shared spirituality
-- a hot trend in modern religion; Written and formatted in an
enlightening, straightforward fashion for lay readers, not
academics; Jesus and Lao Tzu briefly explores the origins of these
amazing parallels. it looks at the lives of the two great teachers
and the traditions that they belonged to as well as the religions
they creared.Westerners unfamiliar with The Tao Te Ching are
provided with a short, clear explanation of its signiticance and
place in the culture of the East. However the core of-the book is
the parallels. Many passages exhibit remarkably similar sentiments
and language, often using the same metaphors. They are then divided
into a number of sections, each beginning with a brief look at the
religious and historical importance of that particular set of
parallels: Humility, love and Forgiveness, Materialism and Wealth,
innocence and Simpiicity, as well as Hypocrisy and Violence. Like
the teachings it voices, the book is both simple and profound.
