[MD] Voices from Oxford: Buddhism & Science Series

[MarshaV]

From Session :  Is there a Buddhist science?  

   " certain Mahayana practices were to gain accurate knowledge of oneself and the world ... such knowledge is to be gained through rational inquiry, through observation and examination of all the manifested aspects of the world and the investigation of the nature of his own mind and its function"

The colloquium was organised by Vesna Wallace (Numata Professor of Buddhist Studies at Oxford), Denis Noble (Emeritus Professor of Physiology) and Alan Wallace (Director of the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies). In addition to the introduction, there are 11 30-minute recordings. The debates are lively and critical.
