This Week In Science Network

Science:  Science in Society:  Science and Religion:  Buddism and Science

  • An Analysis of Madhyamike Particle Physics - While Western physics describes matter and energy well, it doesn't really address the fundamental question of ontology, how things exist, nor does it deal with the nature of human perception as a determinant of the way things seem to exist to us. Buddhism offers a view of the world that is capable of explaining these things in one seamless paradigm, while western science is fragmented into ever more subdisciplines that are often at odds with each other.
  • Mahayana Buddhism versus Materialism - An investigation of the correspondences between modern science and the Tibetan Mahayana Buddhist view of mind and matter. 
  • Mind and Life Institute - Fostering creative dialogue and collaborative research between Buddhism and Western science, including conferences between His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Western scientists.
  • Time and Impermanence in Middle Way Buddhism and Modern Physics
  • Toward a Buddhist Philosophy of Science - An essay examining science, technology, and related topics from a Buddhist perspective.
