The Semi-Buddhist Essenes

""The Semi-Buddhist Essenes"" is a book written by Dwight Goddard that explores the similarities between the ancient Jewish sect of the Essenes and the Buddhist philosophy. The author argues that both groups shared a common belief in the importance of living a simple, spiritual life and that they both sought to attain a higher state of consciousness through meditation and self-reflection. The book also delves into the history of the Essenes, their practices and beliefs, and their influence on early Christianity. Through this exploration, the author provides a unique perspective on the intersection of Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. Overall, ""The Semi-Buddhist Essenes"" offers a thought-provoking analysis of two seemingly disparate religious groups and their shared spiritual principles.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Was Jesus Influenced by Buddhism?, by Dwight Goddard.
