Abstract
Reflecting on thematic developments and dialogical issues in the last twenty years of the Budhdist-Christian encounter, one immediately notices two absences-the one we will explore, the absence of self-reflective attention to the equally important interior dialogue, and the other, the lack of attention to feminist contributions.2 For the most part scholars and students, with few notable exceptions, have encountered each other within the collapse of a generative distinction between interreligious dialogue (among persons of different traditions) and intrareligious dialogue (within each participant). It is as if every encounter between religious traditions, even when that encounter takes place within one's ontological imagination, is viewed as a form of interreligious dialogue.3 But is this really the case? Or, as I will propose here, might it be that interreligious dialogue, whether one is aware of it or not, is initiated by and intellectually integrated through an intrareligious colloquy?
