A Serious Engagement
When
we engage seriously with the Buddhist tradition we learn other ways of
construing the world, other stories we can tell about the way things
are, and these can be cogent, coherent, and compelling in their own way.
This is not to argue for a naive acceptance of Buddhist epistemology
and cosmology. But we won't see what Buddhism has to offer if, at the
outset, we twist it out of shape to make it conform to contemporary
norms.
