This volume discusses contemporary Buddhist responses to religious
diversity from Theravadin and Tibetan Buddhist perspectives.
Buddhist attitudes toward other religious traditions (and its own)
are unquestionably diverse, and have undergone changes throughout
historical eras and geographic spaces, as Buddhists, and traditions
Buddhists have encountered, continue to change (after all, all
conditioned things are impermanent). The present time is a
particularly dynamic moment to take stock of Buddhist attitudes
toward religious others, as Buddhist identities are being
renegotiated in unprecedented ways in our increasingly globalized
age. Is it true that Buddhists are tolerant of other religions? To
what extent are Buddhists tolerant? Is nirvana held to be
attainable through Buddhism alone? If so, through which Buddhist
tradition? This volume approaches these questions and others from
perspectives representing Theravadin and Tibetan traditions of
Buddhism. The chapters herein bring together a spectrum of views
that are not often found side-by-side in a single volume or in a
meaningful dialogue with each other, needless to mention with other
religions. This volume seeks to remedy this situation, and break
new ground to enable further dialogue, understanding, and
constructive encounters across Buddhist traditions and between
other religious traditions and Buddhists.
