These days, if I was asked, I would probably identify myself as a Buddhist. Having said that, I would also say that my Buddhist training has helped me see farther into Jesus' teaching and has made me a better Christian in ways that seem important to me. In light of what I've learned from Shakyamuni and Jesus—the two people in this world that were so different from everyone around them that others asked what they were not just who they were—I wish everyone—and as much as is possible for this unenlightened person, I really mean everyone—the very best of Christmas.

For me, this Christmas is a time of change, renewal, and of acknowledgement of reality. A time of compassion and reconciliation, of struggle and release. A time of giving and receiving, of teaching and learning. A time of thinking and feeling, of compassion and love.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
