Its sad isnt it? Once the world was three-quarters Buddhists - did war dissolve? Did jealously subside? Did greed vanish? And what has Christianity left in its wake? Bloody crusades  sadistic inquisitions  ethnic cleansing  and two world wars. Even the blind can see the bestial part of man renders religion impotent. Despite the Bibles many depictions of Christs compassion and its claim that \"God is Love \" a beast still rages within the human heart. Why? \"You are born into an immense human family that inhabits the five continents and spans the seven seas.\" Yet  you are a solitary soul  and while others may share your home and even your bed  you are born alone  you live alone and you die alone. Neither religion nor relationships can grant you salvation or enlightenment. \"Are you that rare soul  that individual supreme  who is courageous enough to walk through the valley of the shadow of death  fearing no evil as the demon within dissolves?\" If you allow me  I will guide you through a modern translation of the ancient story of \"The Seven Bulls of Zen.\" While I cant promise you will find Buddha or Christ as you these pages  you will  most assuredly  find yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984088133685,"sku":"ByrdShop_1878682067","price":92.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781878682062.jpg?v=1770822596","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/zen-christianity-and-lot-of-bull","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
