“Tradition, above all, is a lived, living and transmited history. It is narrative, the story of a people’s self-formation and at the same time core culture, i.e., thought and practice central to the survival and development and self-understanding of a people. In fact, the viability of a community of people is directly related to their rootedness in their own tradition and their ability to preserve and constantly enrich it.”
