Raimon Panikkar has died . Just a few words, we would like clear, direct and significant. It is not a panegyric, but now you want to pay a fitting tribute that will be improvised and developed in the weeks, months and years to come.
We face a global thinkers that has reflected and promoted reflection on intercultural and interfaith dialogue. He was brave, innovative, thorough and hardworking, but unfortunately not always recognized as necessary, especially at home.
We propose a period of silence as a sign of gratitude because he helped start a Copernican shift in the world of interfaith relations and the philosophy and theology of religions by explaining that otherness is not, as sometimes it may seem a threat to their own identity but an enrichment and enrichment without limits. Hopefully we all want to hear now and no longer speaks with his charismatic voice.
His person and his thought inspired, inspire and continue to inspire the work of UNESCO Association for Interreligious Dialogue and the Department of Interreligious Dialogue UNESCO Centre of Catalonia. This commitment to serious work and humble, we reiterate now, wants to finalize this heartfelt tribute. Absolute
That life and love with you always, Raymond, and hope you continue the full life you know you transmit and share during your trip. Om Shanti
, teacher and friend. Rest in peace.
