In one of his book-length interviews, JPII made the remark that Buddhism is atheist. Or, at least, not theistic.
Reporters scurried to the Dalai Lama, thinking they had a nice scandal to report. The Dalai Lama said, “The Pope is correct.”
So why is the Dalai Lama talking about God now?
Thanks for posting that.. Looks like a fun rabbit hole for a winter day next year.
I have read that Buddhism is the religion closest to being atheism.
