Abstract

The Reverend Professor Leonard Fic has been conducting scientific research on Buddhism in its uniqueness and originality for many years. He has also been involved in promoting the Christian-Buddhist dialogue. He is interested in the theology of religions and comparative studies of religions. He focuses on the subject of “God” and Jesus Christ, which is a challenge in the dialogue of Buddhism.

Salvation in Buddhism is an important research topic. Encyclopaedic entries and articles discussing problems of religions of the Far East and India are among his valuable contributions. The Reverend Professors’ scholarly interests also concern the involvement of Pope John Paul II in the work of interreligious dialogue. Both his articles and books constitute a kind of propaedeutics to the dialogue between the Catholic Church and Buddhism.

The Reverend Professor has devoted a lot of attention to Buddhism in Western culture. He has also worked on the subject of Buddhist soteriology.
