RT Article T1 "Spiritual Interaction," Not "Interfaith Dialogue": A Buddhistic Contribution JF Buddhist Christian studies VO 16 SP 143 OP 165 A1 Sugunasiri, Suwanda H. J. LA English PB University of Hawaii Press YR 1996 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1812888120 AB Does the commonly used term "interfaith dialogue" really do justice to what happens when people of different religions talk? From a Buddhist perspective, it does not. "Interfaith dialogue" places undue emphasis on the "word," whereas a Buddhist "view of communication" places much more emphasis on all six senses, particularly the mind. Therefore, from a Buddhist perspective, a more accurate and helpful term might be "spiritual interaction". DO 10.2307/1390163
