Towards a Threshold of Understanding

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/bodhi/bps-essay_30.html

A Theravada Buddhist response to Pope John Paul II's 1994 book "Crossing the Threshold of Hope", which was unabashedly critical of -- and remarkably ill-informed about -- the Buddhist religion. Bhikkhu Bodhi here skillfully avoids any discussion of possible motives for the Pope's demeaning treatment of Buddhism, and instead addresses the specific doctrinal points that were raised in the book.
