The dialogue recorded here can be characterised as a vital bridge much like the ancient Silk Road, connecting the easternmost and westernmost civilisations of Asia.
The introduction of Buddhism to China is a fascinating story of the meeting of two great civilisations: India, the land of the Buddha’s birth, and China, where Buddhism was transformed into a world religion and from where the Buddhist scriptures eventually spread to Japan.

An ideal high school, university and workshop text on an increasingly important issue, this unique book explores the possibility of a new global ethics in twenty brief chapters, dealing with such ethical issues as self-realisation, altruism, cooperation, community and ecological integrity.
Along the fast-paced course of this dialogue emerges a broad yet sensitive glimpse of two men—one a specialist in chemistry/a scientist, the other a Buddhist—both strongly committed to peace and disarmament as fundamental human rights.
