Opening Our Minds to Save Our World
Opening Our Minds to Save Our World
For
centuries, science and religion have been at odds with one another. Now
the future may depend on our ability to bring these two perspectives
together to meet the challenges we face as a species and a planet.
In September’s Dharma Talk series, "A New Paradigm for Science and Religion," Tibetan Buddhist teacher, scholar, and translator B. Alan Wallace presents a bold vision of science and religion joining in a spirit of radical empiricism and open-minded inquiry. Together, he suggests, these two knowledge systems can help us to adopt a more expansive view of the nature of reality—and to reduce suffering and find true happiness in a time of global uncertainty.
Wallace has studied Buddhist philosophy and practice for the past 50 years, seeking to marry the wisdom of the dharma with the insights of modern science. He is the founder and president of the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies and author of books including Tibetan Buddhism from the Ground Up and The Attention Revolution: Unlocking the Power of the Focused Mind.
