Kenosis: Christian Self-Emptying Meditation

THIS LITTLE VOLUME is a collection of extracts from Tim Langdell’s book, Christ Way, Buddha Way, with extracts from other of his works on meditation, together with new writings on the topics of kenosis and Christian meditation methods. This highly portable work is ideal for those wishing to learn more about this deeper form of meditation, a form we believe is the same Christ himself practiced. This volume is also ideal for meditation groups to use both to guide attendees on the details of Christian meditation practice, and to be used as a discussion book for those interested in doing a deeper dive into the core non-dual teachings of Christ, and the pursuit of metanoia by the practice of kenosis What Andrew Harvey and James Finley said about the sister volume Christ Way, Buddha Way:

In this brave and beautifully written book, Tim Langdell reveals the profound connections between the vision and practice of the Buddha and Jesus. Buddhists and Christians will be immeasurably helped by this work and so will seekers on all paths who value teachings that stress non-dual union with the real. This is both an impressive contribution and a moving personal testimony to a rigorous spiritual path and I salute and recommend it unhesitatingly. -ANDREW HARVEY, author ofSon of Man: The Mystical Path to Christ and Journey in Ladakh Written in the spirit of Thomas Merton’s Mystics and Zen Masters and Zen and the Birds of Appetite, this book brings out into the open the rich affinities between Buddhism and Contemplative Christianity . -JAMES FINLEY, author ofMerton’s Palace of Nowhere and Jesus and Buddha: paths to awakening (Audio recording with Richard Rohr)
