Spiritual wisdom of one religious tradition is often inaccessible or outside the experience of those from other faith traditions. For instance, the average Catholic would probably not read Ram Dass, and a devout Buddhist might not think to reflect on the words of Father Anthony de Mello, a Jesuit priest. Yet paradoxically, both could benefit and advance personally, professionally, and even spiritually in their own faith if they did. You don't need to see spirituality as a smorgasbord or to be a "spiritual tourist" to appreciate how the wisdom of other faiths can be nurturing to your own beliefs and psychology of living.
