The Buddhist/Christian InterSpiritual Community Celebrates Pluralism
As we gather together from differing faith perspectives (Buddhist, Christian, and various others), we remain rooted in our own traditions without the compulsion to force common ground.
Yet, without the need to defend out own turf, we are profoundly challenged by one another's wisdom, delighting in mutual enhancement. Maybe more importantly, we always move beyond words as we share sacred silence.
