PART TWO THE QUESTIONS OF BHADANTA SANGHARAKSHITA STHAVIRA For readers with some experience in meditation, our great merciful Bhiksu Sangharakshita had given me some problems on topics mentioned in our book, and these I shall now discuss. I was very much encouraged to prepare answers to them and I have done so under three classifications, which we shall deal with one by one. A. PROBLEMS OF PHILOSOPHY 1. Christ's Teaching is much more than a "heaven-and-man" yana. He claims that he is the only-begotten Son of God and that ultimate salvation can only be gained through faith in him. How can this be a foundation for Buddhism? Surely a Western Buddhist should reject such teaching. If not, why should he become a Buddhist? He will remain a Christian. (See Ch. I, B, 3.) This is a question of preparation and I have answered it in two parts, the first on the principles of philosophy and the second based on circumstantial reasons. 1. The inconceivable, the Dharmakaya, has a sacred and 660
secret function by which it has skillfully arranged a religion as preparation for the final liberation taught in Buddhism. In all countries, a religion of heaven-and-man yana is found, wherein some aspects of the Truth are taught. By practice of these religions one may gain some insight into small parts of the Truth, leading thereby to an understanding of the complete Truth of the Dharmakaya as taught by the Buddha. Buddhists, in fact, by knowing their own religion well, see that the other faiths—all those in the whole universe, are not incompatible with the Dharma but are bases upon which it may stand and grow. Readers will remember our definition of a heaven-and-man yana. Such a teaching tells people how to lead a good life here, so as to gain heaven in the next birth and thus avoid the torments of hell. Our book is for the West, and the heaven-and-man yana established there is Christianity, so this religion is the preparation for our Dharma in those lands. Every religion has its own pride, and each one says, with varying degrees of emphasis, that it is the only way to salvation. The question is whether these religions are ever justified in making such statements. In the past, when communications were difficult and slow between different parts of the world, each religion could make its claims more or less unchallenged by the others. Now the position is very different, and besides this, the study of comparative religion is pursued in many places. In this 661
