I am a follower of Jesus and a student of the Buddha. Why is that so hard for my fellow Christians to grasp?

The devout life does not solely entail living as a monk or ascetic, though that is fine. The devout life requires bringing God into all things.

The greatest gift we have ever received, and ever will or could receive, is the Spirit of God Himself. He enters the essence of our human form and changes us from within. He fills us with joy, love and peace. He subdues our passions and transforms our very being into the likeness of Christ.
