In July 1996, an historic five-day meeting occurred of Buddhist and Christian monks and nuns at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, USA. It was his Holiness the Dalai Lama who suggested that the meeting be held in a monastic setting, where he could be "a monk among other monks," and who urged that the setting be Gethsemani, home of Thomas Merton, whom the Dalai Lama had met before the latter's death in 1968. The theme of the Gethsemani Encounter was the spiritual life in the Buddhist and Christian monastic traditions. Part one of this work offers 25 presentations on various aspects of spirituality by leading Buddhist and Christian practitioners. The subjects range from the nature of ultimate reality and spirituality to prayer and meditiation, growth and development in spiritual practice, community and spiritual guidance, and spirituality and society. Part Two contains highlights of the actual dialogue itself.
