Stephen Huddleston You are right on with that - have read "Crisis of Faith" and a few others. He's just fun a joyful to watch on video. We're starting a grassroots catholic (Benedictine) community here in Austin - not quite as strict as the Carthusians, not Roman Catholic.
Thankyou for this video. i am a Christian and have been looking into Buddhism. had i not been reading about what the buddhist believe and practice, a lot of what is said here wouldn't have made sense to me.
The guy interviewing needs to slow down. He's so quick to jump to a follow up comment or question that Keating's responses can hardly sink in. You can tell Keating picks up on this. Ask a good question, listen to an in depth response, slow down, follow up when necessary
I really don't agree , I think he's full of life and reality - just fantastic. He stopped T K in his not inconsiderable tracks and asked with great humanity ( and humility) - " How do you actually do this ? " To me he teases the subject out beautifully.
Andrew Lombardi. I agree with you. Manning’s questions are relevant but can speak slower. Most of the time he does wait for TK to finish speaking. However, we all want to listen to the very rich answers of TK. I feel annoyed when he interrupts and speak at the same time as Keating.
The Catechism states that all salvation comes from Christ as Head of His Body, the Church, even to those who do not know Him if they are sincere in seeking God. In that sense you might say that a sincere Buddhist is able to receive salvation in Christ without knowing Him in this life.
I'm puzzled about the idea that someone could choose to accept Buddhism and be seeking God at the same time. But this is different than my original question about a Buddhist being "in Christ" at the same point in time, rather than obtaining salvation in the end.
Wouldn't it be appalling if the source of grace and truth were shut off from everybody who seeks it merely because they haven't had the "good fortune " to run into a "Christian".
We should all act as one while at the same time leaving other's to be. In no way does this brilliant man mean that a world governance is in order. Understand that fact.
Around 17mins the host starts asking Fr Keating what he can do to cause contemplation to occur. He certainly knew what he was doing by asking because all person's even attempting to explain what it is, have a very difficult time trying to explain it. It is generally agreed that it is from God, and there is no knowing as to who and why he chooses one and not the other. So, If a person agrees with this interpretation from others, then it can be seen as to how Fr Keating can cause confusion by claiming to have developed a method for this type of Prayer. You will notice in this video that he says he and some others developed, he does not mention Thomas Merton. All the experts on Thomas Merton say that he never taught any method for Contemplation/Contemplative Prayer. Also Fr Keating starts making it sound as if it is easy for anyone to find God through his method. Thomas Merton wrote that if you are obtaining contemplation with ease, then it may not be God that you have found! This is the cruelty of the Spirituality that has been introduced into the Mental Health System of the United States.
@@fallingleaves3985 I find Fr. Keating being spiritually rich, but his explanation seems to differ from that of Fr. Thomas Dubay, that contemplation is infused rather than taught (methodical). Fr. Dubay's explanation seems consistent with that of St. Teresa of Avila.
Why on earth would you make a negative comment in the face of such wisdom and also I disagree , I think he excellently and light heartedly draws out the very best from Thomas Keatings teaching.
After 5 viewings of this interview, I'm still gleaning something new each time I watch it. Rare!

I loved Fr. Manning, but you're saying maybe he needed to spend more time in contemplation. LOL May he rest in peace.

Wow.... What more is there to say ?
Wonderful presentation of the contemplative and monastic life, but the interviewer is a priest? Where is his seminary training?
Alice Turni bio is in Wikipedia.
Father Manning looks like Alvin Melvin (Sam the Butcher and Barney of All in the Family).
6:40 How can a Buddhist be "in Christ?"
The Catechism states that all salvation comes from Christ as Head of His Body, the Church, even to those who do not know Him if they are sincere in seeking God. In that sense you might say that a sincere Buddhist is able to receive salvation in Christ without knowing Him in this life.

No human being is outside Christ and God's grace.

I found Keating and Merton to be pointing in the same direction. One's mileage may vary.

Utmost charity.
Terrible interviewer. Wish they would've used another interviewer.
