 Another significant step toward dialogue between Christians and Buddhists was by Daniel T. Niles , in his book Eternal Life Now ( 1946 ) . The purpose of this book is twofold : ( 1 ) to convey the Christian message in the Buddhist context , by using terms such as anicca , dukkha , samsara , sarana , anatta , sila , samadhi , panna , and arahant ; and ( 2 ) to convey Buddhist truths within the context of Christianity .

 Five important Upanishad texts , according to Olivelle – the Jabala plus the Aruni , Laghu @-@ Samnyasa , Kathashruti and Paramahamsa Upanishads – provide different answers to the question of when someone may renounce the worldly life to lead a monastic one . The Laghu @-@ Samnyasa Upanishad , Kathashruti Upanishad and Paramahamsa Upanishad suggest that a man may renounce after sequentially completing the student , householder and retirement stages of life , and then getting the consent of his elders and direct family members . In contrast , the Jabala Upanishad and Aruni Upanishad assert that the choice is entirely up to the individual , without needing to have completed any stage of life nor requiring the consent of anyone else .
