These records illustrate a deepening involvement in the dialogue among persons of differing beliefs, particulary in the Gethsemani Encounter, which brought together Buddhists and Christians -- including the Dalai Lama -- from many parts of the world to meditate, worship, talk and listen to one another. The records also depict increasing coverage in the media and efforts to upgrade the bulletin, as well as continued development of the contact persons program, collaboration with Dialogue Interreligieux Monastique, further evolution of the Monastic Exchange Program, and proposed publication of a Buddhist commentary on the Rule of Benedict.
