| Summary: | Perry Schmidt-Leukel’s recent four-volume Buddhism and Religious Diversity: Critical Concepts in Religious Studies (2013) is a major publishing event, not only in Buddhist studies but also for those working in the area of interfaith encounter and theology of religions. This article reviews the achievements of the Schmidt-Leukel project against the backdrop of his pluralistic theology of religions and suggests a complementary pneumatological perspective to not only understand the phenomenon of the plurality of Buddhisms and their various dispositions and approaches to religious otherness, but also to nurture the spectrum of practices needed in a world of many faiths. |
