FBA Podcast: How to See the World

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 21 Aug, 2021 - 06:00

A very intriguing trip by Satyanandi through the myriad worlds of consideration that arise when view, experience and reality meet. Her starting point is science and its various models for how the universe works - from mechanism to quantum physics.

Talk given at the Cambridge Buddhist Centre, 2005.
