While there exist numerous studies in Buddhist ethics that address the Buddhist perspective on contemporary issues such as abortion, euthanasia, and terrorism, there has been considerably less attention paid to Buddhist responses towards religious difference. Moreover, the majority of the research on this topic has been conducted within the context of Buddhist-Christian dialogue.

I demonstrate the strong visionary, apocalyptic, theological, and soteriological dimensions of Shabkar\u2019s <em>rim\u00e9<\/em>, or \u201cunbiased,\u201d approach to religious diversity. The two main applications of these findings are: (1) they broaden the current academic understanding of <em>rim\u00e9<\/em> from being a sociological phenomenon to a theological one grounded in social and historical particularities; (2) they draw attention to the non-philosophical aspects of Buddhist ethics.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/buddhistethics\/files\/2015\/10\/Pang-Rime.pdf\">Read article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISSN 1076-9005 Volume 22, 2015 Rim\u00e9 Revisited: Shabkar\u2019s Response to Religious Difference Rachel H.
