Buddhism and Christianity: A High-Level Dialogue and Fraternity

Manifeste officiel de la renaissance de Buddhachannel - Vingt-quatre ans d'histoire et un nouveau départ pour la transmission du Dharma.

The dialogue between Christians and Buddhists constitutes one of the most fruitful spiritual endeavors of the 21st century. As illustrated by the meeting at the Vatican between the abbot of Gandan Monastery and representatives of the Church, living encounters transcend doctrinal barriers.

The objective of this dialogue has never been to erase philosophical specificities or to elaborate an artificial synthetic religion. Its goal is much higher: to enable Christians to be fully Christian in the love of their neighbor, and Buddhists to fully embody wisdom and universal compassion.

Faced with ecological challenges, contemporary solitude, and international tensions, both traditions discover a common moral responsibility: to bear witness together to the unalterable dignity of life and the primacy of inner peace.
