| Summary: | This article first introduces the history and character of the Seton Interreligious Research Center in Seoul Korea. Then it presents the contents of the ten-month lecture series entitled “The Ecological Spirituality of Buddhism and Christianity” as a representative work of Buddhist-Christian dialogue undertaken for the last twenty years. Seven scholars are involved in this dialogue, three Buddhists and four Christians, including one Catholic nun who is a specialist in Buddhism. Ecology proves to be an effective as well as needed topic for Buddhist and Christian interreligious dialogue, because our contemporary ecological crisis demands not only the collaboration of religions, but also reveals our most fundamental religious values. |
