Rabbi Marc Gellman is a high profile television personalty, part of the God Squad with Monseigneur Tom Hartman. Together they discussed and debated religion and cultural issues. In a recent Newsweek article, Rabbi Gellman wrote these words of praise for Buddhism on the occasion of Vesak - Buddha's Birthday Festival:
"What I love about Buddhism is that it never loses focus on kindness and compassion as the practical goal of human life. Buddhism is not overly concerned about theological disputes; it is not a proselytizing religion. It respects all faiths and teaches nonviolence and vegetarianism. The Buddhists I know are kind and calm — great achievements in our broken world."
