I think it's kind of interesting that we Salinger folks refer so much
to
>eastern religious and philosophical thought, but The Way of the Pilgrim
is
>actually a Christian tale.
In "Seymour: An Introduction", Buddy tells us that his and Seymour's
own personal version (my terminology) of Buddhism were partly based
on the Bible. I love that, since a great deal of Christianity
actually has very little to do with anything Christ said. A lot of
people I know (including, rather unhumbly, I know, myself) who
actually have read and pondered and learned from Christ's teachings
aren't Christians at all.
