| Title: | The Buddha's Four Lessons for Scientists |
| Date (JST): | Wed, Jul 19, 2023, 15:30 - 17:00 |
| Place: | Lecture Hall |
| Abstract: |
What is the world? How do human beings know the world? This lecture will discuss how the earliest form of Buddhism, which I call “Early Buddhism,” answered these questions. Early Buddhism rejects the Creator such as God in Christianity, and natural law such as the Dao in Confucianism and Taoism. Nor is it humanism, based on the belief that human beings have supreme value. Such thought of Early Buddhism seems interesting to even modern scientists. In this talk, I will briefly introduce my research methods of elucidating Early Buddhism and then discuss its thoughts of space and cognition. |
