...think of the Lutheran student from the Midwest who found that the rationalism of the Dalai Lama opened to her a world of thought that was not only challenging, but compelling. I think of the student who wanted to write her term paper on women’s issues in Islam and discovered the breadth and power of Muslim feminist writers she didn’t know existed, the Muslim student who discovered the writings of Abraham Joshua Heschel, and the atheist who found that Buddhist philosophers didn’t “believe in God” either...
