- Title
Masao Abe and the Dialogue Breakthrough.
- Authors
Rowe, Stephen
- Abstract
The article offers information about the Third North American Buddhist-Christian Theological Encounter. It focuses on the notions of ultimate reality in Buddhism and Christianity. Masao Abe spoke persuasively of the perspectiveless perspective of Zen, arising from the experience of sunyata as the negation of negation or the radicalizing of Nothingness. John Cobb spoke with equal persuasiveness of inescapable particularity as historical beings, ineluctable locatedness, and the irreducible wisdom of Israel and Greece. There were three propositions on which Abe and Cobb agreed, the need of transformation, it must be a mutual transformation, and that transformation must be in direction of a new universality of humankind.
