Meditation in Buddhist-Christian Encounter: A Critical Analysis of the 12th ENBCS conference is the role of meditation in Buddhist-Christian Encounter. An impressive line-up of invited speakers will address ive themes from Buddhist and Christian perspectives: the place of meditation in Buddhism and Christianity from a critical historical perspective; Buddhist-Christian encounter and the Zen tradition; the hesychastic tradition and Buddhist meditation; Mindfulness and Buddhist-Christian encounter; meditation and action in Buddhist-Christianencounter. ENBCS conferences are an opportunity to meet and to greet others. Conversation is important – during coffee breaks and meals (lunch has been extended to include a siesta – we’re in Spain after all), and in the evenings after formal sessions. So also is spiritual practice - we have an optional guided meditation session each morning before breakfast. Then, the culture of the place is also signii- cant. Montserrat is mountain, sanctuary and monastery. ‘Montserrat’ means ‘sawn mountain’ in Catalan and the mountain looks, from a distance, almost as though it has been carved. Beloved of rock climbers and walkers, it is full of interest. There were probably hermits on the th mountain as early as the 8 Century but it was in the middle ages that Montserrat became a famous place of pilgrimage because of the miracles that happened there, attributed to Mary. Academics involved in Buddhist-Christian studies, independent researchers and all who are committed to building understanding between Buddhists and Christians are welcome to attend the conference. The focus is academic but we do not limit attendance to those in academia. We also hope to offer some bursaries for research students to help with the cost of the conference. Whether you are new to ENBCS or have long been involved with the Network, I can assure you it will be an enjoyable and thought-provoking conference.
