At crucial moments when falsehoods threaten the teaching and practice of the Orthodox Church, the Holy Fathers have taken philosophical elements of Platonism, Neoplatonism, and Aristotelianism and utilized them to safeguard the teaching and practice of the Orthodox Faith. In so doing, they have expounded upon the Faith in such a way as to provide more supports for Orthodox Christians to bolster and, hopefully, deepen their spirituality through practice. Father Jean-Yves Leloup suggests a similar approach toward various philosophical teachings of Buddhism. There is certainly some overlap in both the teaching and practice of Orthodox Christianity and Buddhism, as Father Jean points out. Father Jean's most salient statement for Orthodox Christians is that they can deepen their faith and practice by learning something of the precepts of Buddhism and that Buddhists can benefit from learning from the teaching and practice of Orthodox Christianity. Such an approach toward the philosophy of the Greeks was demonstrated by Philo the Jew in his Platonic recounting of sacred history--a philosophically-charged recounting that equipped early Christians, such as John the Theologian, with words and ideas to express the Faith more fully and more deeply in his highly theological Gospel. Perhaps, like Philo the Alexandrian Jew, Orthodox Christians can approach the Gospel anew with the values of Buddhism present in mind and so prepare the way more fully for the deepening of Orthodox Faith and Practice and the transfiguration of the Cosmos through Christ and His Church. ( ) > LA MONTAGNE DANS L’OCÉAN, Méditation et compassion dans le bouddhisme et le christianisme, de Jean-Yves Leloup (Albin Michel, 2007). — Rappelant les principes de méditation – comment se recueillir, prier, trouver la paix en soi – et ceux de la compassion – comment aider, aimer autrui, protéger, donner –, Jean-Yves Leloup construit ici une remarquable réflexion sur ces axes essentiels au bouddhisme comme au christianisme, en cernant leurs divergences, leurs similitudes et leurs complémentarités.

A profound reflection on how complementary themes in Buddhism and Christianity could serve as the basis for a truly ecumenical faith * Compares Zen meditation with the Greek Orthodox practice of Hesychasm (prayer of the heart) * Shows how Buddha and Jesus represent the distinct yet complementary values of meditation and compassion In Asian spiritual traditions the mountain traditionally symbolizes meditation while the ocean signifies compassion. Jean-Yves Leloup uses this metaphor to compare Buddhist and Christian approaches to meditation and compassion to reveal the similarities and divergences of these profound practices. Emphasizing their complementary nature, Leloup describes how Jesus and Buddha are necessary to one another and how together they form a complete system: Jesus as awakening through love, and Buddha as awakening through meditation. Where Buddha represents the forests, Jesus represents the trees. Buddha is brother to the universe, whereas Jesus is brother to humanity. Nevertheless, these two religious traditions have a profound common ground. Compassion is central to Buddhism, and meditation practices have been central to many Christian traditions. Both view murder, theft, and the destructive use of sexuality as great barriers to realizing our essential being, and both agree on the need to rise above them. Here, however, Leloup suggests that both faiths could benefit from the precepts of the other. The complementary aspects of Christianity and Buddhism offer the possibility for a truly profound ecumenical religion whose interfaith relations are based on deep understanding of the true meaning and practice of meditation and compassion and not merely shared goodwill.
