      Before getting started, let’s review a few notes…

      *This booklet mostly uses British spelling, except for the quoted material, which often employs U.S. spelling.

      *The terms LORD, GOD, and Hashem are all ways to describe the personal name of God, often rendered as Yahweh or Jehovah.

      *The ALT3 distinguishes between singular and plural second-person pronouns by means of an asterisk (*).

      *Divine pronouns are normally not capitalized, unless they appear that way in Bible versions or other quotes.

      *As a general rule, words that appear in brackets within quotes are not found in the original texts, and were added by the translators or are my personal comments, etc.

      *My views on the life of Siddhartha Gautama have come solely from Dr. Timothy Tennent. Any factual information presented in the biographical sketch conforms to his lectures given at Gordon-Conwell.

      *In the interest of not exceeding fair use legalities, I’ve employed two different versions of the Dhammapada. One translation used is Juan Mascaro’s, first published in 1973. It is now made available via Penguin Classics. The other version is by Eknath Easwaran, and was published by Nilgiri Press, 2007 (second edition). After quoting from the Dhammapada I will indicate which translation was used.

      I. The Buddha and the Bible

      You may be thinking at this point: what in the world is the Dhammapada?

      First we must back up to sometime around the fifth or sixth century B.C. We must go to a place east of the Euphrates. We must go to the nation of Nepal and also to north India. There was a man born popularly known as Siddhartha Gautama. He was a wealthy prince of high caste, sheltered throughout most of his life by a family desirous to keep him from fulfilling a prophecy given to his mother at his conception. When fully grown he left his enclaved paradise and experienced duhkha (suffering) in all its hideousness for the first time.

      Outside the Eden-like gates of ease, comfort, and protection, he would see four sights that would shock him out of his habitual repose—but also give him hope. The first three were old age, disease, and death. He had apparently been sheltered from these realities his whole life, perhaps in an effort by his parents to keep him from becoming the prophesied religious leader. The fourth sight was a meditating religious man, a member of the Hindu priestly caste. He seemed to be at peace; he seemed to have been able to have serenity and calm in a swelling sea of duhkha. He wanted to be like that man.

      Siddhartha Gautama renounced his life of ease, left his paradise and his family, and set out on a quest to overcome the suffering of this age as that religious man. He pursued the strictest form
