I'm a Christian, and my boyfriend is Buddhist.  I'm very interested in how the two intersect, and they can and do very easily.  The teachings of Christ and Buddha are similar in many areas.  The book "Living Buddha, Living Christ" by Thich Nhat Hanh is a great examination of that.  There have also been many Buddhist Christians, with the adherents following Christian doctrine and Buddhist philosophy.  I think they work well together.

If you highly recommend it as a good translation of the Upanishad, I would gladly like to receive it. You needn't give it to me for free, I will gladly pay you for it and the shipping. The only version of the Upanishads I have is not very good at all. It only has five of the Upanishads in it and most of the book is "Translator's Commentary". The book was translated by a Christian missionary so the version tends to use Christian terminology (and the Translator's Commentary, which takes up half of the book, is full of "how the Upanishads compare to the Bible"). Its an awful translation! :(  I probably should have known better since the first version of the Bhagavad Gita that I bought was from the same company and it failed to translate a great deal of the Sanskrit (so in the middle of sentences would be Sanskrit phrases, but then no translation of what it meant). Thankfully the head organizers of the satsang I attended got together and got me a copy of the version they use (which is the one that was translated by Christopher Isherwood & Swami Prabhavananda). It's a very good version that I am so thankful to be able to read. That said, if your Upanishads was translated by Swami Prabhavananda then I have great hopes that the translation does a great deal of justice to the Upanishads and well worth the read. \n\nI don't feel comfortable posting my address, etc, here, but you can contact me for that (just click 'contact gabriel_zachary). I do live in the US (Oklahoma). I hope you find a good home for the book (even if not with me...afterall if God intends for me to have it, then it'll be, if not then atleast I now have heard of the book and if you give me your recommendation of it being a good book, then I won't hesitate to buy it at a later date)\n\nPeace be with you,\n\nNate

"(iv) Garuda Purana. This is in the form of instructions to Garuda by Vishnu. This deals with astronomy, medicine, grammar, and with the structure and qualities of diamonds. This Purana is dear to Vaishnavites. The latter half of this Purana deals with life after death. The Hindus of north-India generally read this Purana while cremating the bodies of the dead. This has given great importance to the origin of Garuda. There are eight thousand verses in this book. This book should be given as gift along with an image in gold of a swan to get prosperity. \n\n \n\nSubject of Bhagavad-gita; reincarnation; vishnu-sahasranama; description of Tarsya Kalpa.\n\n \n\n19,000 verses.

You will find more information on this with a different (more correct) spelling of Vajracchedika.\nI think it is the Diamond Sutra which is a scripture or records of oral teaching by Buddha.\nThe number probably denotes different sections.\nGood luck with your project.  It sounds interesting.

ok i'm going to take a wild guess that this refers to the words of the Buddha one time when he was staying in the Jeta Grove in the town of Sravasti.\n\nto take another leap i'd say his brother anada would be the actual author.\n\ni'll keep a watch on this page to see what develoes.  the problem is your translation does not fit normal sanskrit rules.  residing in the wisdom of ekottara?\n\ni believe the buddha spoke of ekottara at sravasti, shouldn't that mean it is in dharmmapada?\n\n>>Edit>> on the other hand after a day to think about it,  maybe it was Patanjali, the Yoga Sutras, which almost makes more sense.

It's spelled "Buddhism".  Wikipedia is a good start.  There are in general two forms of Buddhism: Mahayana <great/wide path or \nHinayana <narrow path.\nMahayana practitioners are to wait for all other sentient beings to attain Buddhahood/Nirvana before they go themselves.  \nHinayana practitioners are working toward their own individual Buddhahood/Nirvana.

There are many translations due to it's poetic nature. Here are a few:\n\n * Kavikratu Tattva Budh:\n\n    "Almighty Supreme Sun impel us with your divine brilliance so we may attain a noble understanding of reality."\n\n * Gayatri Pariwar:\n\n    "O God, Thou art the giver of life, the remover of pain and sorrow, the bestower of happiness; O Creator of the Universe, may we receive Thy supreme, sin destroying light; may Thou guide our intellect in the right direction."\n\n * William Q. Judge:\n\n    "Unveil, O Thou who givest sustenance to the Universe, from whom all proceed, to whom all must return, that face of the True Sun now hidden by a vase of golden light, that we may see the truth and do our whole duty on our journey to thy sacred seat."\n\n\n    "Oh matter-energy-mind (triple universe); Upon this worthy source of divine spiritual light, meditate: thus enlighten our intellect."
