A Buddhist Spectrum: Contributions to the Christian-Buddhist Dialogue

A Buddhist Spectrum is a collection of essays by Marco Pallis concerning Buddhism. Pallis offers the reader a series of profound comparisons and insights concerning the diverse spiritual doctrines of Buddhism and Christianity. Prompting a dialogue on both practical and metaphysical matters, A Buddhist Spectrum informatively and thoughtfully delves into such matters as whether there truly is such a problem as Evil; the question of whether Buddhism allows for 'grace'; the concept of dharma; musical polyphony, and more. A welcome contribution to Buddhist and religious studies shelves, A Buddhist Spectrum is especially recommended reading for students new to Buddhism as well as non-Buddhists wanting to familiarize themselves with basic Buddhist teachings and concepts.
