In light of the Dalai Lama’s visit, we will be discussing how his views on Buddhism mesh with a secular worldview. In interviews, he has stated:

“If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change. In my view, science and Buddhism share a search for the truth and for understanding reality. By learning from science about aspects of reality where its understanding may be more advanced, I believe that Buddhism enriches its own worldview.”

However, is this complete picture? Can the two world views ever be completely reconciled or will there be points such as reincarnation in which the two will forever stand apart?

Join us for the first SSU meeting of the Spring quarter at our new location in Chapel on the Ave.
