"Gatherings of spiritual practitioners from different backgrounds,
such as the Gethsemani Encounter, are of immense value. It is my
hope that readers of this book may find in it the inspiration and
understanding that in some way contribute to their own inner
peace." His Holiness the Dalai Lama
"A remarkably rich document, encompassing vast areas of
Christian/Buddhist monastic concerns. Part 1 offers presentations
on ultimate reality and spirituality, prayer and meditation,
community and spiritual guidance. Part 2, the real treasure,
contains dialogue between Buddhist and Christian monks, including
the Dalai Lama, on subjects from mind and virtue to grace, the
nature of tragedy and violence, and the importance of social
action."--Library Journal
