Buddhism is a religion with its essential purpose to end suffering. Its lack of interest in theology, valuing experience over belief, Middle Way approach, and its Eightfold Path has allowed it to adapt and often live harmoniously with other religious traditions during its 2500 years. With that stated, I will contribute to the interfaith dialogue through providing understanding about the Buddhist traditions, potentially dispel misconceptions of Buddhism, and point out similarities between Buddhism and other faiths. If or when differences arise, having the spirit of understanding and knowing that beliefs do not supersede sentient beings. I look forward to being part of this interfaith dialogue, because such dialogues help bring further religious understanding and cooperation.
