«Os Sutras Perdidos de Jesus» is the historical and spiritual essay by Ray Riegert and Thomas Moore, in paperback with 144 pages, in Portuguese.
In 635, Christian monks arrived in China via the Silk Road and translated their texts drawing inspiration from Buddhism and Taoism, giving rise to the Sutras of Jesus. Hidden in a cave around the year 1000, they were found in 1900. This work includes a new annotated translation and recounts the 1998 discovery of one of the original monasteries.
Published by Sinais de Fogo Publicações in 2005. Original title in English: The Lost Sutras of Jesus: Unlocking the Ancient Wisdom of the Xian Monks.
Intended for readers interested in spirituality, the history of religions, and the encounter between Christianity and Eastern thought.
Thomas Moore was an Irish writer, poet, and lyricist, widely regarded in his lifetime as Ireland's "national bard". The acclaim rested primarily on the popularity of his Irish Melodies. In these, Moore set to old Irish tunes verses that spoke to a narrative of Irish dispossession, loss, and resistance. With his romantic work Lalla Rookh (1817), in which these same themes are explored in an elaborate orientalist allegory, Moore achieved wider critical recognition. Translated into several languages, and adapted and arranged for musical performance by, among others, Robert Schumann, the chivalric verse-narrative established Moore as one of the leading exemplars of European romanticism.
