The Common Ground project
This is an important and pioneering book, which seeks to find common ground between the teachings of Islam and of Buddhism. It is my hope that on the basis of this common ground, followers of each tradition may come to appreciate the spiritual truths their different paths entail, and from this develop a basis for respect for each others’ practice and beliefs. This may not have occurred very often before, because there has been so little opportunity for real understanding between these two great traditions.This book attempts to set that right …
From a Buddhist point of view, the practice of Islam is evidently a spiritual path of salvation.
— His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama
