Abhishiktananda Centenary
The year 2010 marks the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Henri Le Saux, the French Benedictine monk who is one of the great pioneers of monastic interreligious dialogue.
To commemorate this anniversary and to reflect on the meaning of Abhishiktananda’s life and teaching for our time, a symposium was held at Shantivanam, the ashram he and Fr. Jules Monchanin founded in 1950. A report on that symposium can be found in the current issue of the Bulletin.

Bulletin 84, January 2010
A report by the Secretary General of DIMMID on the Parliament of the World's Religions that took place in Melbourne in December 2009.
Brother John Martin appeals to four different levels of consciousness to contend that while the starting conditions, the manifestation, and the emphases of the Upanishadic sages, the Buddha, and the Christ are different, they all discovered the same Source. The way we encounter universal consciousness depends on the questions with which we make our journey.
