Vatican Apostasy: “Buddha and Jesus are great healers.”
In a statement released on Sunday, 12 November, the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue explained that the Colloquium had the aim of reaffirming “friendship and reciprocal understanding built through dialogue with Buddhist partners throughout the world and, in particular, in Thailand”, and identifying “common actions to heal the wounds of humanity and the planet”.
In Spanish: Apostasía Vaticana: “Buda y Jesús son grandes sanadores.”
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE DECLARATION:
Seventh Buddhist Christian Colloquium: “Karuṇa and Agape in dialogue to heal a wounded humanity and the Earth” - Final declaration of 11/16/2023.
(...) In these troubled times, we refuse to give in to despair, for we strongly believe that in the midst of dark clouds, those who are deeply rooted in their respective religious traditions and willing to work together with everyone can bring a ray of hope to a desperate humanity. As Buddhists and Christians, we see the Buddha and Jesus as Great Healers. The Buddha pointed to greed and Jesus to sin as the cause of suffering. On many levels, Jesus and the Buddha proposed love and compassion as medicine to drive out the darkness in the human heart and the world. Nourished by their respective spiritual teachings, Buddhists and Christians, for thousands of years, have adopted compassionate ways of living to address the suffering of life. We believe that now more than ever, we need to work together and with a great sense of responsibility, we concurred on the following: (...)
Cooperate: No one is saved alone; we can only be saved together for we are interconnected and interdependent. Thus, we need to cooperate with everyone: civil society, followers of other religions, media personnel, governments, international bodies, academic and scientific communities, and all other interested parties in order to foster an inclusive world.
Innovate: We possess religious classics and centuries of experience and wisdom. We need to make these relevant to our wounded humanity and to save the battered earth. We therefore advocate for scholarly endeavours among academic and research institutions with the goal of helping religious movements to alter how they perceive, think and conceive of the other as well as the planet. (...)
Pray: We believe that prayer and meditation can turn things upside down by purifying our hearts and minds; generating loving-kindness, mercy and forgiveness where there is hatred and vengeance creating a spirit of respect and care for the other and the earth. We need to reawaken the spiritual energy in our respective followers. (...)

Let us remember Bergoglio's speech to a delegation of Thai Buddhists on 06/17/2022:
"(...) At a time when the human family and the Planet face multiple threats, friendly dialogue and close collaboration are even more necessary. Unfortunately, from all sides we hear the cry of a wounded humanity and a torn Earth. Buddha and Jesus understood the need to overcome the selfishness that generates conflict and violence. The Dhammapada summarizes Buddha's teachings: "Avoid evil, cultivate good, and purify your mind: this is the Buddha's teaching" (Dph 183). Jesus said to his disciples: "I give you a new commandment: that you love one another. "As I have loved you, so you also love one another" (Jn 13:34). It is our task today to lead our respective faithful to a more vivid sense of the truth that we are all brothers and sisters. And that implies that "We must work together to cultivate compassion and hospitality toward all human beings, especially the poor and marginalized."
