For Buddhism, the "heart" refers to awareness; for science, the "heart" is a working machine, a machine operation that can be understood by analyzing its process and composition. Is there anything worth learning from each other between these two completely different ideological systems?
As a cognitive neuroscientist, the author of this book has conversations with several well-known Buddhist practitioners, in an attempt to explore the similarities and differences of perception, thinking, and awareness between Eastern Buddhist mentality and Western neuroscience. He put forward the differences in the research methods, hypotheses and purposes of the two, and found that the viewpoints of both sides have greatly inspired each other and can help each other apply new research methods and solve long-standing unresolved problems.
The argument is clear, which shows that the two systems of Buddhist psychology and science have respectable insights and common propositions. They are complementary and not contradictory to each other. Readers who intend to approach from different perspectives in order to fully explore the phenomenon of "mind" In terms of it, it is a must-read masterpiece.
