...commonly known as a trust not based on logic or reason, but on a transpersonal relationship with a higher power. I would beg His Holiness to enunciate the connection between faith and reason in the context of humanity as a whole. Faith is neither Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Jewish nor Buddhist, nor is it a monopoly of any one segment of the human race. It is also appalling that the 9/11 events-a crude, revengeful act by a few semi-educated individuals-has drawn the battle lines of a supposed clash of civilizations, allowing the Pope to deliver an address remarkable...

Ricard started out as a French intellectual who received a doctorate in molecular biology and counted Luis Bu?uel, Igor Stravinsky and Henri Cartier-Bresson among his friends.

...Madagascar for fantastic fish. Grated Shizuoka wasabi - not that fake electric-green paste - accompanies the tsukuri, a sashimi course elaborately composed on handmade ceramics. Fragrant matsutake mushrooms evoke autumn, while Kobe beef melts in the mouth like foie gras. Dishes like sesame tofu are nods to Kyoto's Buddhist vegetarian cuisine. At the end comes the spiritual heart of the meal: rice, pickles and the best miso soup around. If Umu sounds traditional, it isn't. The reinvented Kyoto flavors are restrained, but the trendy London setting is not. A hidden door on the streets of tony Mayfair glides back...
