Weber, Edmund2019-09-252019-09-252013-08-0920051434-5935http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/191383The Dalai Lama, in exile since 1959 in Hindu majority India, has continuously been taking a firm stand on giving importance to an inter-religious dialogue and interaction. He has made it absolutely clear that Buddhism represents just one of the many religious ways open for mankind. Nonetheless, he has always referred to the bond shared between Buddhism and Hinduism as a very special one and has experienced it as a religious tie. Both these religious streams belong to what is nown as Bharatiya or Indo-genous Dharma. The Dalai Lama does not restrict his care for nurturing this common bond to a mere academic talk. In fact he has been taking active part in promoting this kind of inter-religious dialogue and has been showing a fiery political commitment as well.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderBuddhismhinduismInter-religious dialogueHindu ethicsReligious ethicsComparative religious ethicsCommunity ethicsLifestyle ethicsComparative religion and interreligious dialogueReligious pluralismTheology of religionsSociology of religionPhilosophy of religionArticle
