The crisis in Sri Langkan,which is rooted in the politics of ethnicity and reached a new stage in May 2009 when the goverment forces militarily defeated the Tamil Tiger rebels, forms the backdrop to this article. Transvormative spirituality in this context is demonstrated in the strong bond of friendship between the author, a Sri langkan Sinhales, and collegue who is a Sri Langkan Tamil. The article draws upon four principles of transformative spirituality in the interreligious context articulated by Sri Langkan Jesuit priest Aloysius Pieris. First, it must take the context seriously,which, in the Sri Langkan Context mena its grinding poverty and its rich religious diversity, to which must now be added the divestating war that her just concluded. Second, robust interreligious dialogue requires that Christians looks beyound typologies such as exclusivism, inclusivism and pluralism, and engage other religious traditions on their own terms. Third, enless religions engage with the other core to core, rather than engage the kernel of Christianity with the husk of buddhism, there cannot be geniuine transformative meets the core of Buddhism in the praxis of liberations. Acknowledging that dialogue never enganges only the participants' religious identity, but engages the other as a whole person with multiple identities, the article applies pieris' interreligious dialogue principles to conflictual ethnic relations seeking to provide dialogue as a model for other types of reconciliations.
