As well as the daily routine of
morning and evening puja, alms gathering and work there have been pan-Buddhist seminars,
as well as inter-faith gatherings. These have reflected both a spirit of disciplined
inquiry and a respect for different approaches to Truth. Such occasions can strengthen the
teachings and conventions of each religion, by showing how those spiritual facets are
echoed in other faiths. This photograph is of the 'Faith in Awakening' gathering of 1993 organised by Venerable Sobhano, bringing together monastics and lay people from Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and Jain communities. It was chaired by Christopher Titmuss whose gift for inquiring and impartiality contributed to its success. |
