| Summary: | How are we to make sense today of the Church's mission in Asia as it faces the original, complex and definitive religious plurality that shaped the context into which it has come? If the Church is the sacrament of salvation, it has the great responsibility of living up to what it has to display and allow: universal reconciliation in Jesus Christ. What Paul VI called the 'dialogue of salvation' defines salvation history as the effort to make real the vocation to dialogue given to individuals and communities. This means first and foremost a willingness to listen in a way that reveals the beauties of the person we meet. Viewed in this way, the Tibetan Buddhist tradition contains treasures that we fail to grasp. Salvation comes in the very process of dia-logue between traditions in which each side increasingly shows its uniqueness. |
