Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 I am wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to what they might consider the Christian corollary to the virtue of Ahimsa? Some of you have reflected a Christian past or path in your posts, and I seek your wisdom and thoughts. I want to connect the two paths if I can, as to a unified goal of peace and nonviolence.

If one reads the commandments one will find they are really about Ahimsa. If one reads Jesus speaking about loving thy neighbour and turning the other cheek when struck, that is Ahimsa. There are a lot of chapters in the Bible with references to a vegetarian diet. In the New Testament James the brother of Jesus and head of the Christians in Jerusalem is referred to as a vegetarian, as many with an Essene background were. That is part of Ahimsa.......Om Sakti...Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
