The Relationship Between Buddhism and Science (Podcast Episode #012)

Author: Selected Talks on Buddhism and Meditation by the Karmapa December 30, 2016 Duration: 1:43:06
This week's podcast episode is a short teaching from the Gyalwang Karmapa on the relationship between Buddhism and science as well as a Q&A session on this and other topics.

The recording took place on the Gyalwang Karmapa's previous visit to Switzerland where he gave teachings, empowerments and was able to visit many Tibetan communities. In it he discusses the importance of Buddhist and scientific investigation, and how these two different but related fields can benefit our own lives and society in general.

In the Q&A portion of this episode His Holiness covers topics such as Tonglen meditation, how people from different religions can live in harmonious families, and many more.
