 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 Mind Can, Should, and Must Be Fixed
From a Buddhist perspective, even if all material problems could be solved, suffering would remain. The world is unfixable, said Buddha. Happiness depends, ultimately, only on the mind; it is the mind that can, should, and must be fixed. – Linda Heuman, “Who’s Got Good News?” |
