A lot of Christians don’t ever study new age or Buddhist ideas. In my experience they satanize these thoughts even when they are identical to Christ’s beliefs. There are a lot of Christians with gossip, substance abuse, anger and morality issues that would benefit from studying these principles. You never see a drunk Buddhist or a Buddhist at a strip bar. A lot of books like Tolle’s New Earth make it very clear that they are not espousing a new religion nor are they trying to change a person’s views. If you google Jesus and Buddha you find uncanny similarities in the teachings of both (Buddha lived hundreds of years before Christ.) I personally feel that my quest to be more Christ like, to be be healed of the human condition, to be rid of the ego, involves understanding the teachings of Buddhism and new age thought. The aforementioned will make me a better Christian and more Christ like.
