Bede Griffiths (1907-1993) was a British-born Benedictine monk who moved to India in 1955, adopted the appearance of a Hindu sanyasi (one whose whole life is focused on the search for God), adapted monastic life to Indian traditions, and became one of the great pioneers of East-West dialogue. In Return to the Center he offers the fruits of a lifetime spent in prayer and meditation. Griffiths believes that modern humans have lost touch with the center of their own life, and therefore with life itself. This center is "the place of meeting where the different religious traditions of the world have their source, and the ultimately meaning of human existence is to be found. . . . For a Christian this is manifested in the person of Jesus Christ." Griffiths insists that we must find our way back to that center, and he illuminates the way for us by looking at the truths of Hinduism and Buddhism through a Christian lens. This edition is augmented by an additional chapter that narrates his move from England to India, describing what he was seeking and what he found.
