THE NATURE OF REALITY & HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS

Our Sunday, August 26, Science & Buddhism discussion will be on current efforts to understand the nature of reality and human consciousness.

Jikoji teacher Doug Jacobson will lead the discussion, which will pick up on his talk earlier that day, as part of our Sunday Program, on the concept of Form (Rupa) in Buddhism.

Among the books and articles informing the discussion:

Talks by Max Tegmark (Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality) can be found here:

As always, the discussion will be quite open and informal with all invited to participate.

We also invite you to join us that Sunday morning for our 10 am Sunday Program, Dharma Talk, and social lunch, ahead of our 2 pm Science & Buddhism session. Doug will be giving the Dharma Talk, at 11:45, on the related topic of Form (Rupa) in Buddhist philosophy.

All are welcome. No prior experience with science, Buddhism, or meditation is necessary. Hope to see you there!
