"One Truth - Vipassana, Science and Spirituality" from <em>Realizing Change</em>

For the harmonious development of individuals and society, proper integration of science and Dhamma is essential, yet they are often perceived as irreconcilable. Dhamma for many people today has become identified with sectarian religions, ritual, community conflicts and a stubborn resistance to any logical scrutiny of beliefs. Science meanwhile is usually associated with thoroughgoing materialism—the view that matter is the only reality. In this month’s Dhamma podcast, One Truth - Vipassana, Science and Spirituality, we focus on how Vipassana elevates shared spiritual values over superficial differences, and points a way towards genuine understanding and reconciliation within and between diverse faiths, traditions, and science. 11 - One Truth - Vipassana, Science and Spirituality as read by Ian Hetherington recorded 2014/2015 54 minutes Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.
