My dad was a practising Buddhist; my mum was confirmed in the Church of England. I became a Christian in 2007. Sometimes you must choose one path or the other.
In the New Testament, Jesus says, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (NIV).
However, I believe we can benefit from other faiths, and it can be done without diluting our faith. Here are some examples:
• Mindfulness and “everyday mind” (from Buddhism)
• Effortless effort and Wu Wei “going with the flow” (from Taoism)
• Meditation and contemplation (Buddhism)
• Gentle exercise “Tai Chi” (from Taoism)
• Yoga “PraiseMoves” (Hinduism)
• Generosity (Sikhism)
• Ethical conduct (Judaism)
• Tolerance (Islam)
There are likely others that I haven’t thought of. Maybe someone who has studied comparative religion would know more.
