This is an essay in the philosophy of religion – a discipline within Anglophone philosophy that has, for obvious historical reasons, been owned by Christians and ex-Christians, atheist or agnostic, with scant regard for, or attention to, other traditions. I had originally sought to explore ways in which Buddhist practice might be integrated into a re-conceiving of the philosophy of religion in terms of spirituality, but an essay is a trial, a testing or ‘proving’, and the one who genuinely essays does not know in advance where the path will lead. An Introduction is best written last, and what has emerged in the end is a modest set of proposals about how Buddhism can offer a non-theistic contribution to an intercultural conception of the philosophy of religion.
