THE GETHSEMANI ENCOUNTER
A Dialogue on the Spiritual Life by Buddhist and Christian Monastics
Edited by Donald W. Mitchell
and James Wiseman
Library Journal review:
In July 1996, Buddhist and Christian monks met at the Abbey of Gethsemani, Kentucky, and held a five-day conference to discuss aspects of their spirituality and worship. Donald W. Mitchell (philosophy, Purdue) and James Wiseman, (O.S.B., chair of Monastic Interreligious Dialogue) have done a masterful job of distilling from this conference a remarkably rich document, encompassing vast areas of Christian/Buddhist monastic concerns.
Part 1 offers presentations on ultimate reality and spirituality, prayer and meditation, spiritual growth and development, community and spiritual guidance. Part 2, the real treasure, contains dialog 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. This book is directed more toward the scholar in comparative religions, but any informed lay reader will also greatly gain from reading it. Recommended for all libraries, especially academic ones.--Glenn Masuchika, Chaminade Univ. Lib., Honolulu.

BENEDICT'S DHARMA:
Buddhists Reflect on
the Rule of St. Benedict (hardcover)
Edited by Patrick Henry
Forward by David Steindl-Rast, OSB
Saint Benedict's Rule is a set of guidelines that has governed Christian monastic life since the sixth century. Those who live according to the Rule, which regulates daily life in a monastery, regard it as the bedrock of their lives and feel great affection for its writer, a monk whose humility and extraordinary insight into human nature are legendary. The Rule has fascinated laypeople and monastics alike, including Buddhist monks and nuns who are intrigued by the similarities between their traditions and those of their Christian counterparts.
This book is the fruit of dialogue between Christian and Buddhists that began at the Gethsemani Encounter in 1996. Besides the reflections by four distinguished Buddhists, Norman Fischer, Joseph Goldstein, Judith Simmer-Brown and Ven. Yifa, there is a conclusion by Brother David Steindl-Rast, O.S.B. For the sake of ongoing dialogue the Rule of St. Benedict translated by Abbot Patrick Barry, O.S.B., has been included. The editor is Patrick Henry, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Ecumenical Institute at St. John's Collegeville, Minnesota. Hardcover, 223 pages.
