Buddhism, it seems, is like the color black: it goes with anything. Littlejohn, a recovering addict and student of Tibetan and Zen Buddhism, has written a book that thoroughly integrates the 12 steps of recovery from addiction with Buddhist principles and precepts. Each of these persuasions is so powerful that one would have thought they would leave room for nothing else, but Littlejohn effectively suggests that the richness of Buddhist insight can ground 12-step recovery in true self-knowledge.
It would be easy to confuse the aim of "Jesus in the Lotus" with that of "ChristoPaganism" (above), but Paul, trained as a Christian monk and yogi under Bede Griffiths, is striving for something else: to show Christians all they can gain from Yoga practice without leaving their faith behind and all that Yoga practitioners might gain from a better knowledge of Christianity without ceasing to be Yogic. After all, their faiths and practices share a yearning for union with the Divine.
