The Dalai Lama once said that “Sleep is the best meditation”. Though I never knew exactly what he meant by this, I always took it to mean that like sleep, meditation is good for you. Meditation is well known for its ability to create a deep inner awareness and understanding of ourselves. This comprehension of who we are can guide us towards living happier and more fulfilling lives. Another activity which I consider to be very similar in concept to meditation is something called reflective…

discussing how the Dalai Lama wasn’t allowed to return to Tibet when one of my closest friends Mary walked up to me. Mary was an energetic international student from China with an infectiously optimistic outlook on life. “The Dalai Lama is a terrorist,” she informed me with the same tone as one remarks that the world is round. “What?” I spat out as my eyebrows jumped to my hairline. “The Dalai Lama is a terrorist,” Mary repeated, convinced I didn’t hear her correctly.…

before the invasion. For the time being, no monasteries were demolished and the Dalai Lama still held authority and was the religious and political leader in Tibet. Keeping the Dalai Lama in power was strategically important for Mao. Giving the Dalai Lama authority meant gaining trust and support from the Tibetan elites, and eventually getting them to side with him upon the transformation of Tibet. The Dalai Lama being in charge of Tibet was significant for the people of Tibet too. His holiness…

In the article “Ethics and the New Genetics” written by The Dalai Lama, the author explains a religious symbol that is trying to send a message to the science community. A genetic technology that one day will change the definition of what it is to be human. Similarly, in “Human Dignity” written by Francis Fukuyama the author examines Factor X, the same number of factors that makes a human being human. Individuals should be political, the ethical esteem is embodied, the decisions made, and the…

Thomas Tweed’s missive, titled ‘Who is a Buddhist?’, dissects the Buddhist community and separates those who identify with, or simply dabble in, the faith into more appropriate categories. In this piece, Tweed identifies various levels of involvement in Buddhism, classifying its followers in groupings from the faithful to those who simply show passing interest. Most importantly, Tweed separates the sheep from the goats by making it clear to his audience: just because someone participates in…

In modern times religion and science are increasingly becoming viewed as incompatible, or at least non-overlapping. Damien Keown states that “Scientific discoveries, and theories such as evolution, have challenged many traditional Christian teachings…” at the expense of making them appear “...dogmatic, irrational, and backward-looking” (119). Despite its brief history in the West, Buddhism has gained increasing popularity in part due to its frequent portrayal as an exception to the conflict…

This book moves more towards the less visible and un-promoted side of how Buddhism is starting to filter into today’s American life. For Moore this fits better than the shaved head, mantra chanting, and incense wreathed thought that most Westerners have associated with Dharma. The author looks for something or someway for him to replace what he lacked from his childhood faith. In the book, he seeks guidance towards confronting and being able to answer the big questions that leave us dissatisfied…
