A Model for Interfaith Understanding and Respect

Susan Walker brings together a transcript of lectures by the likes of Tessa Bielecki, Mother Abbess of the Spiritual Life Institute, Jospeh Goldstein of the Insight Meditation society, the Dalai Lama, and Judith Lief of the Naropa Institute of Canada in a wide-ranging spiritual dialogue. The participants discuss the contemplative traditions of mindfulness, sunyata/nada, and clarity and emptiness in a way which underscores the transformative potential in interfaith dialogue of all kinds. Those seeking a path of mutual respect and understanding which leads beyond a destructive exclusivism will do well to read this book.
