Pendeta Kristiani CS Lewis (Narnia) berbicara tentang Buddhisme
« on: 17 November 2011, 01:14:36 AM »
There are people in other religions who are being led by God’s secret influence to concentrate on those parts of their religion which are in agreement with Christianity, and who thus belong to Christ without knowing it. For example, a Buddhist of good will may be led to concentrate more and more on the Buddhist teaching about mercy and to leave in the background (though he might still say he believed) the Buddhist teaching on certain other points. Many of the good Pagans long before Christ’s birth may have been in this position. And always, of course, there are a great many people who are just confused in mind and have a lot of inconsistent beliefs all jumbled up together. Consequently, it is not much use trying to make judgments about Christians and non-Christians in the mass."
(CS Lewis, Mere Christianity)


CS Lewis


Karyanya: Narnia

Bila dilihat dari sudut pandang seorang Kristiani, pendapat CS Lewis ini sangat luar biasa!  8)

CS Lewis adalah theologian yang sangat berpengaruh terhadap dunia Kristiani di dunia. Seharusnya para pendeta yang keblinger, baca buku CS Lewis sehingga tidak seenak udel mengklaim umat agama lain masuk neraka atau umat agama lain kongkalikong dengan Iblis.

Theravada is my root. This is the body of my practice.... It [Tibetan Buddhism]has given me my Compassion practice. Vajrayana is my thunder, my power. This is the heart of my practice..True wisdom is simple and full of lightness and humor. Zen is my no-self (??). This is the soul of my practice.

CS Lewis adalah sahabat Bede Griffiths, seorang sadhu Kristiani Khatolik Roma yang aktif dalam dialog dengan Hinduisme dan Buddhisme. Bahkan CS Lewis mendedikasikan autobiografinya, "Surprised By Joy", kepada sahabtanya Bede Griffiths.

Suatu kali CS Lewis menulis surat pada Bede Griffiths:
"Even more disturbing as you [Dom Bede Griffiths] say, is the ghastly record of Christian persecution. It had begun in Our Lord's time - `Ye know not what spirit ye are of' (John of all people!) I think we must fully face the fact that when Christianity does not make a man very much better, it makes him very much worse...Conversion may make of one who was, if no better, no worse than an animal, something like a devil."
[C. S. Lewis in a letter to Bede Griffiths, dated Dec. 20, 1961, not long before Lewis' death, The Letters of C. S. Lewis, ed., W. H. Lewis, (New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc., 1966), p. 301.]

CS Lewis mengakui, bahwa konversi seseorang ke agama Kristiani dapat membuatnya menjadi salah satu orang ini:
1. Menjadikan seseorang jauh lebih baik daripada sebelumnya
2. Menjadikan seseorang lebih buruk daripada hewan, seperti layaknya Iblis = penuh pemaksaan dan penjajahan

Foto Dalai Lama dan Bede Griffiths:


"You know Father, I never knew Christians could think like this."

CS Lewis adalah seorang Kristiani Anglikan. Beliau juga kritis terhadap Buddhisme, seperti Buddhis juga kritis terhadap Kristianitas, namun CS Lewis memiliki semangat toleran yang luar biasa... mungkin hasil buah pikirnya dengan sahabat baiknya, Bede Griffiths.

Tokoh Anglikan lain yang super toleran adalah Archbishop Desmond Tutu, sahabat Dalai Lama.
