Difficulty of Dialogue Between Buddhists & Christains

“Engaging in genuine dialogue with Buddhists concerning the nature
of God or ultimate reality is not an easy task. Roger Corless has correctly observed
that “the Buddhas and the Christain God function in their own universes and it
is not clear weather these universes relate to each other at all, if they do,
in what way or ways.” Debate concerning the nature of ultimate reality is
central to the entire history of Buddhist thought, and that discussion has influenced
every strand of Buddhism in one way or another. Despite the obstacles, we do
not have the luxury of avoiding this central question when Christians and
Buddhists sit down at the table of dialogue.”
