Philosophy and Religion | May 30, 2014
Separating philosophy from religion
does not work well in the case of Buddhism. Trying to tease apart these
two strands of the dispensation would have seemed a futile endeavor to
most Buddhists over the long history of the tradition. We in the West
need to get over this false dichotomy, which has no significance in
speaking about Buddhism or other Asian religions.
—Robert E. Buswell Jr. and Donald S. Lopez Jr., “Buddhism: Philosophy or Religion”
