Schmidt-Leukel, Perry (ed.)

Buddhist Attitudes to Other Religions.

Authors include: Berzin, Alexander / Gentz, Joachim / Grünschloß, Andreas / Harvey, Peter / Katz, Nathan / Beise Kiblinger, Kristin / Knitter, Paul / Makransky, John / D'Arcy May, John / Schmidt-Leukel, Perry / Tanaka, Kenneth

Ersch. 2008, 21 x 14,8 cm, Paperback, 300 S.,
ISBN 3-8306-7351-5, EUR 19.80

In a world in which the religious ‘other’ has been both globalized and localized, we are tending towards a situation in which all religious traditions are aware of all others and to this extent are in some kind of communication with one another. Even if the relationship is one of proselytism, rejection, conflict or enmity, it is still a relationship, and this involves a reaction to or interaction with the other. Many adherents of one faith have now practical dealings with people of other religions, thus inevitably facing questions of meaning and belonging. Buddhists are no exception to this, even if Buddhism manifests both, a distinctive selfsufficiency and an ability to tolerate difference.

Does the Buddhist tradition provide any resources for going beyond the traditional exclusivistic and inclusivistic options? Can there be something like a Buddhist pluralism, that is, the recognition of another religious path as being different but nevertheless equally liberative, equally salvific? Whether Buddhist pluralism is a genuine option is something that the contemporary inner-Buddhist debate has to figure out. But it is far from evident that Buddhism is a sort of naturally pluralistic religion. As far as its traditional discourse is concerned it seems to have been, by and large, as exclusivistic or inclusivistic in its soteriological claims as any other of the major religious traditions.

Theravada Buddhism and
the British Encounter
Religious, Missionary and Colonial Experience in
Nineteenth Century Sri Lanka
Elizabeth Harris, University of Birmingham, UK
March 2006: 234x156: 288pp
eBook: 0-203-09877-3: £65.00
Hb: 0-415-37125-2: £65.00





This major new work explores the British encounter with Buddhism in
nineteenth century Sri Lanka, examining the way Buddhism was represented
and constructed in the eyes of the British scholars, officials, travellers and
religious seekers who first encountered it.
Tracing the three main historical phases of the encounter from 1796 to 1900,
the book provides a sensitive and nuanced exegesis of the cultural and political
influences that shaped the early British understanding of Buddhism and that
would condition its subsequent transmission to the West.
Expanding our understanding of inter-religious relations between Christians
and Buddhists, the book fills a significant gap in the scholarship on Theravada
Buddhism in Sri Lanka by concentrating on missionary writings and presenting
a thorough exploration of original materials of several important pioneers in
Buddhist studies and mission studies.

description Today Buddhism is often presented as a religion without dogmas and commandments, without God and without any need to believe, tolerating all and everything – as no “religion” at all, but as a way of life most suitable to the needs of post-modern Westerners. But is this an accurate image? In this book Buddhism is introduced as a genuine religion, gentle and powerful, being as demanding as it is consoling.

Buddhism is certainly not a theistic faith, but neither is it a form of atheism or materialism. Rather it is a challenge to both: a rich source of metaphysical, ethical and spiritual insight that has shaped and nourished countless generations of followers all over Asia and that is now taking firm roots in the West.

As with all titles in the Understanding Faiths series Understanding Buddhism is directed at those serious enquirers or students of comparative religion who are seeking a sympathetic, scholarly and reliable introduction.

about the author Perry Schmidt-Leukel is Professor of Systematic Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Glasgow. He holds the Chair of World Religions for Peace and is Founding Director of the Centre for Inter-Faith Studies.

Buddhism and Christianity in Dialogue
The Gerald-Weisfeld Lectures 2004
 
Edited by Perry Schmidt-Leukel
 
Buddhism and Christianity in Dialogue continues the Weisfeld-Lectures, which were established with the first series on War and Peace in World religions, published in 2004 by SCM Press.
 
The book is written for a general as well as a more specialist readership. On the one hand it introduces basic topics of Buddhist-Christian dialogue, on the other hand it opens up new ground: particularly insofar as the Buddhist and the Christian contributers all write comparatively. That is, the Buddhists speak not only on Buddhism but on Christianity and Buddhism in relation to the specific topic, and so do the Christians. Something similar has not yet done before in Buddhist-Christian Dialogue making this a unique and groundbreaking book.
 
Each chapter is made up of a contribution from a Buddhist and then from a Christian point of view. To conclude each chapter, both authors then write together to address each others points in the previous sections and so the book is truly interactive.

Schmidt-Leukel, Perry / Köberlin, Gerhard / Götz, Josef Thomas

Buddhist Perceptions of Jesus.

Papers of the Third Conference of the European Network of Buddhist-Christian-Studies (St. Ottilien 1999).
 

Ersch. 2001, 21 x 14,8 cm, broschiert, 180 S.,
ISBN 3-8306-7069-9, DM 28.00 / Euro 14.32

How did Buddhists perceive Jesus in the initial stages of Christian-Buddhist encounter and how do they understand him today? How do Christians feel about Buddhist perceptions of Jesus? Do they regard these as faulty, insufficient or as providing exciting new perspectives? These and other questions are addresses in the papers collected in this volume. Three historians of religions investigate the Buddhist perceptions of Jesus in China during 17th century (Iso Kern), in SriLanka during 19th and early 20th century (Heinz Muermel) and among the first Buddhists in Germany (Frank Usarski). Three Buddhist authors present and represent a Buddhist understanding of Jesus and Christianity which has moved from the earlier primarily polemical view to a much more sympathetic and dialogical one (Shizuteru Ueda, Santikaro Bhikkhu, Karl Schmied). Finally two Christian theologians, both well experienced and experts in Buddhist-Christian dialogue (Notto Thelle, Michael von Brueck), answer the question “What do I as a Christian expect Buddhists to discover in Jesus?”. A detailed introduction by Perry Schmidt-Leukel analyses the background to Buddhist evaluations of other religions in general and of Christianity in particular.
