Thich Nhat Hanh, well known Vietnamese Buddhist monk and Zen master in his bestselling book Living Buddha, Living Christ aims at showing that differences between Buddhism and Christianity are of secondary importance. In order to show it he provides his reinterpretations of various Bible passages. The article aims at showing that Thich Nhat Hanh’s creative readings of Christian Scriptures are based on Buddhist concepts of interbeing, mindfulness and suchness, which cannot be reconciled without significant theological and philosophical modifications with Christian perspective on existence of individual personal beings (both divine and human), that are not just manifestations of one ultimate reality, but have their own individual nature.
