Excerpt
Excerpt: One of the most challenging issues facing Theravada Buddhism in recent years has been the encounter between classical Theravada Vipassana meditation and the non-dualistic contemplative traditions best represented by Advaita Vedanta and Mahayana Buddhism. Responses to this encounter have spanned the extremes, ranging from vehement confrontation all the way to attempts at synthesis and hybridization. While the present essay cannot pretend to illuminate all the intricate and subtle problems involved in this sometimes volatile dialogue, I hope it may contribute a few sparks of light from a canonically oriented Theravada perspective.
