The work offers a comparative examination of the figures of Jesus and Gotama and the spiritual systems they represent, then surveys metaphysical questions about God and the cosmos, and analyzes concepts of soul, self, individuality, and karma. It contrasts Christian ideas of heaven with Buddhist notions of nirvana and closes with reflections aimed at reconciling apparent differences and highlighting shared spiritual foundations. An appendix supplies metrical adaptations of Buddhist legend and scripture that illustrate key themes. Throughout, the tone is conciliatory and reflective, seeking conceptual correspondences rather than polemical judgments.
