 Not an Easy Fit
Whether on the cushion or in the laboratory, Buddhism and science resist an easy fit. A good deal of Buddhism–even including, ironically, the very notion of buddhahood–doesn’t lend itself to scientific validation or materialist empiricism. Consequently, to make Buddhism fit with what is perceived to be our best knowledge of the world, much of what constitutes the Buddhist tradition itself needs to be dismissed. In the process, this rich tradition gets reduced to a set of concepts and techniques stripped of the context that gave them meaning. – Linda Heuman, “A New Way Forward” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

The more we try to find any intrinsic characteristics in desire, the more it melts away under our gaze, as frost under the morning sun. – Matthieu Ricard, “Working With Desire” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
