This show, like the previous one, grew out of Middlebury College's weeklong
symposium on "the significance of the Christ and the Bodhisattva--which means in the language of Buddhism a person on the way to Buddhahood--in contemporary life." Do Christianity and Buddhism have anything to say to each other, or are their claims antithetical? An energetic and frequently entertaining discussion, from which, two samples: Brother David: "You seem to think of Truth as many people do primarily in terms of that Truth on which we have a grasp, but that is always a very small part of the Truth. The much greater and more important part of the Truth, in the religious context, is the Truth that has us." Mr. Lopez: "To say that God and Nothingness are the same thing is problematical to me. Because the reality that Christians talk about is mysterious, and the reality that Buddhists talk about is mysterious, does not by any means suggest that they are the same thing."
