Interreligious dialogue is one
of the important ways for overcoming cultural and religious differences
and misunderstandings, and for contributing to world peace. But such a
dialogue has to go beyond the social, institutional and purely academic
areas: it has to reach the very depths of the spiritual, philosophical
and theological insights of the religious traditions. In Buddhism,
Hinduism and Christianity such insights are expressed in the apparently
opposite, but in reality complementary concepts of Void (shunya) and
Fullness (purna, in Greek pleroma). These concepts lead to the
respective spiritual experiences and their interpretations in scriptures
and philosophies.
This volume contains the papers presented at an interreligious
seminar at Sarnath, Varanasi, organised by the Abhishiktananda Society,
and inspired by the ideas and life of Swami Abhishiktananda (1910-1973).
These papers throw light on these fundamental concepts from the
different traditions, and are an invitation to dialogue. H.H. the Dalai
Lama gave the concluding speech on the importance of interreligious
dialogue.
