Description: Bede Griffiths (1907-1993), a British-born Benedictine monk, moved to India in 1955, adopted the appearance of a Hindu sannyasi, one whose whole life is focused on the search for God, and became one of the great pioneers of East-West dialogue.

Here Griffiths offers the fruits of a lifetime spent in prayer and meditation. He believes that modern humans have lost touch with the centre of their own life, and therefore with life itself. This centre is "the place of meeting where the different religious traditions of the world have their source, and the ultimate meaning of human existence is to be found. . . . For a Christian this is manifested in the person of Jesus Christ."

Griffiths illuminates the way for us each to find our own way back to the centre by looking at the truths of Hinduism and Buddhism through a Christian lens. In these short reflections he reflects "on what India has done to me, on how my mind has developed, on the changes which have taken place in my way of life and in the depths of my soul."
