An inside historical perspective

Benedictines encounter Buddhists over the 20c and debate how to live hospitably in the world and balance a transition from monastic to missionary to peace-building. "The risk of religious isolation from dialogue is fundamentalism; to be religious is to be interreligious." Real peace is sustained encounter, not diplomatic negotiation.
