The Semi-Buddhist Essenes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425324537)

The Semi-Buddhist Essenes is a book written by Dwight Goddard that explores the connection between Buddhism and the Essenes, a Jewish sect that existed during the Second Temple period. The book examines the similarities between the two belief systems, including their emphasis on non-violence, simplicity, and the pursuit of inner peace. Goddard argues that the Essenes may have been influenced by Buddhist teachings, and that their practices and beliefs can provide insights into the teachings of the Buddha. The book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of two ancient spiritual traditions and offers a unique perspective on the history of religion.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Was Jesus Influenced by Buddhism?, by Dwight Goddard.
