The fifth in a series of Gifford Lectures by Prof Diana Eck. Recorded 5 May 2009 at The University of Edinburgh.

Looking more broadly, the religious traditions of the Indic world have

distinctive views on religions, on the diversity of religions and the

engagements we would call pluralism.

Buddhist, Jain, Hindu, Sikh, and Muslim

communities have lived in complex relationship with one another, with

distinctiveness as well as common discourse.

Discussions of pluralism and its

relation to secularism are lively in these traditions today.

How do some of

today's thinkers and spiritual leaders articulate the dilemmas of religious

"truth" and the religious other?

How do they relate their Asian traditions to

the globalization of religion?
