" Comme en te lisant je me sens plus proche de ce qui t'anime et de ce qui est en question! Et comme, dans le même temps, l'écart entre nos deux visions apparaît plus clairement dans leur tension originelle. " Partager avec un ami son expérience spirituelle quand elle emprunte une voie différente de la sienne est une réelle aventure. Avec un ami, on abandonne la langue de bois et les idées reçues. On n'hésite pas à confier ses doutes, ses blessures parfois. Dennis Gira est chrétien, Fabrice Midal est bouddhiste. Mais chacun connaît bien la tradition spirituelle de l'autre. De leur échange de lettres naît un bouleversant dialogue sur la vérité et l'expérience spirituelle. Cet échange fait avancer chacun sur la Voie qui est la sienne - celle du Christ ou celle du Bouddha. L'effort, parfois épuisant, que requiert ce dialogue, permet à chacun de mettre à nu ses convictions et sa foi. Les plus grandes questions sont abordées avec lucidité et dans une intimité rare. Celles de l'altérité et de la souffrance, du statut de la personne humaine et de la nature de Dieu, de la conversion, du rôle du maître spirituel, de la vacuité et de la résurrection... Ces lettres concernent en définitive tous ceux qui, croyants ou non, se laissent interroger par l'expérience de la vie

This work provides the first systematic discussion of the Bodhisattva path and its importance for constructive Christian theology. Crucified Wisdom examines specific Buddhist traditions, texts, and practices not as phenomena whose existence requires an apologetic justification but as wells of tested wisdom that invite theological insight. With the increasing participation of Christians in Buddhist practice, many are seeking a deeper understanding of the way the teachings of the two traditions might interface. Christ and the Bodhisattva are often compared superficially in Buddhist–Christian discussion. This text combines a rich exposition of the Bodhisattva path, using Śāntideva’s classic work the Bodicaryāvatāra and subsequent Tibetan commentators, with detailed reflection on its implications for Christian faith and practice.Author S. Mark Heim lays out root tensions constituted by basic Buddhist teachings on the one hand, and Christian teachings on the other, and the ways in which the Bodhisattva or Christ embody and resolve the resulting paradoxes in their respective traditions. An important contribution to the field of comparative theology in general and to the area of Buddhist–Christian studies in particular, Crucified Wisdom proposes that Christian theology can take direct instruction from Mahāyāna Buddhism in two respects: deepening its understanding of our creaturely nature through no-self insights, and revising its vision of divine immanence in dialogue with teachings of emptiness. Heim argues that Christians may affirm the importance of novelty in history, the enduring significance of human persons, and the Trinitarian reality of God, even as they learn to value less familiar, nondual dimensions of Christ’s incarnation, human redemption, and the divine life.Crucified Wisdom focuses on questions of reconciliation and atonement in Christian theology and explores the varying interpretations of the crucifixion of Jesus in Buddhist–Christian discussion. The Bodhisattva path is central for major contemporary Buddhist voices such as the Dalai Lama and Thích Nhât Hanh, who figure prominently as conversation partners in the text. This work will be of particular value for those interested in “dual belonging” in connection to these traditions.
