Cosmology and Buddhist Thought is the result of a conversation with astrophysicist and television celebrity Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson that took place in New York at the end of May 2011 While cosmologists look at the outer space with massive instruments and difficult calculations using mathematics Buddhists look at inner space with mindfulness and concentration Both paths lead to insights about fundamental questions about why and how we got here what we are doing here what are our connections and interactions with the universe and what is our destiny Cosmologists study life on earth from an objective point of view and examine its causes Buddhists study life on earth with regard to understanding its challenges and how to resolve them Both Buddhism and cosmology recognize that we live in an emerging evolving and impermanent universe everything is changing Dr Tysons insights into the origins of life on earth time scales ecology and religion are inspiring to say the least and extremely wise to read and contemplate His responsiveness to Buddhist ideas of codependent arising interbeing interconnectedness impermanence the self nirvana and consciousness demonstrates much more than a Readers Digest knowledge of Buddhism A close reading of the conversation reveals that Buddhist thought does not have much to contribute to cosmology Cosmology on the other hand has a lot to contribute to Buddhism Excerpts from Cosmology and Buddhist Thought recently appeared on the Lions Roar Blog

Find tips, reviews, and features on Buddhist Cosmology Philosophy and Origins sold for 32.48 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product belongs to philosophy and is sold by Abebooks.com.
This extensively researched and illustrated volume offers Western readers a rare introduction to Buddhisms complex and fascinating views about the structure of the universe The book begins by clearly explaining classical cosmology with its symmetrical Indiacentered universe and multitudinous heavens and hells and illuminates the cosmoss relation to the human concerns of karma transmigration and enlightenment It moves on to discuss the Mahayana conception of the universe as a lotus flower containing uncountable realms each with its own buddha Then examining changes in the notions of hell and the gods the author traces Buddhisms gradual shift from a religion to a mythology Throughout treatment of Buddhisms historical geographical and doctrinal origins complements detailed cosmological descriptions Finally the author shows us how this ancient philosophy resembles the modern scientific view of the cosmos and how even today it can help us lead more fulfilling lives

Discover information, advice, and prices for The Golden Yoke Legal Cosmology sold for 37.57 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
The golden yoke of Buddhist Tibet was the last medieval legal system still in existence in the middle of the twentieth century This book reconstructs that system as a series of layered narratives from the memories of people who participated in the daily operation of law in the houses and courtyards the offices and courts of Tibet prior to 1959 The practice of law in this unique legal world which lacked most of our familiar sign posts ranged from the fantastic use of oracles in the search for evidence to the more mundane presentation of cases in court Buddhism and law two topics rarely intertwined in Western consciousness are at the center of this work The Tibetan legal system was based on Buddhist philosophy and reflected Buddhist thought in legal practice and decision making For Tibetans law is a cosmology a kaleidoscopic patterning of relations which is constantly changing recycling and reforming even as it integrates the universe and the individual into a timeless mandalic whole The Golden Yoke causes us to rethink American legal culture It argues that in the United States legal matters are segregated into a separate space with rigidly defined categories The legal cosmology of Buddhist Tibet brings into question both this autonomous framework and most of the presumptions we have about the very nature of law from precedent and res judicata to rule formation and closure

In Emptiness the fifth volume in The Foundation of Buddhist Thought series Geshe Tashi Tsering provides readers with an incredibly welcoming presentation of the central philosophical teaching of Mahayana Buddhism Emptiness does not imply a nihilistic worldview but rather the idea that a permanent entity does not exist in any single phenomenon or being Everything exists interdependently within an immeasurable quantity of causes and conditions An understanding of emptiness allows us to see the world as a realm of infinite possibility instead of a static system Just like a table consists of wooden parts and the wood is from a tree and the tree depends on air water and soil so is the world filled with a wondrous interdependence that extends to our own mind and awareness In lucid accessible language Geshe Tashi Tsering guides the reader to a genuine understanding of this infinite possibility
