| | Only after Buddhist monks helped repel a Japanese invasion at the end of the 16th century did the persecution of Buddhism and Buddhist practitioners stop. | | | On the other hand, the Japanese Buddhist custom of marriage by Buddhist priests contradicted the lifestyle of the Korean Buddhist monks and nuns, who traditionally lived in celibacy. | | | The formation of new Buddhist sects, such as the Won Buddhism, and Early Christian missionaries around this period also witnessed further turbelence to traditional Korean Buddhism. |

| | FRUIT SALAD CAN BE DELICIOUS: THE PRACTICE OF BUDDHIST-CHRISTIAN DIALOGUE |
| | The heart of Buddhist social engagement is nonviolence, which according to traditional Buddhist teaching is an awareness of the utter interdependence of all things and events at every moment of space-time. | | | So while Buddhists like King think Buddhists need to develop a concept of justice in relation to their practice of nonviolence, Christians in conversation with Buddhists need to reflect on their passion for retributive justice and how to balance compassion with justice. | | | Cobb has appropriated Buddhist doctrines of impermanence, "non-self," and interdependence into his version of "process theology" because he claims these Buddhist insights can help Christians recover biblical insights about human nature and God that are more relevant to contemporary life and experience. |
