So I feel this one is a personal achievement. Because there are for me two pillars on my faith as a Christian. One is the death of Jesus, violent and dark, and like something out of a war movie, and the other is the list of Beatitudes or blessings that are delivered with the soft yet strong grace of a buddha. These are the two pillars. They are the one thing. And they are both hugely mirrored in Buddhist philosophy. So what I'm doing here is in two parts. The first returns again to Camus as a modern touchstone for a meditation on the Cross and I have put the text in here as follows because it distills so much of my thought. The second half of the podcast probes those blessings, Beatitudes, from a personal point of view. I hope you enjoy and thank you so much for supporting the podcast.
