- Evolution of culture
- Religion
Scope
What needs to be illuminated here, by right information, is (1) the long-term effects of our choices and (2) our own ability to feel. How wonderful to see that those two are really two sides of a single coin!
Insight
The little person is scratching his head, wondering which direction to take. Wants to have it easy and pleasant.
Convenience / egocenteredness are deceptive, meaningless values. wholeness is the way to go!!!
Interests
- Values: wholeness
- Pursuit of happiness: Must be informed or "evidence-based"...
- Culture: Is ready to be thoroughly revived
- Evolution of culture: Must be "guided"
- Religion: Is not at all what we believed..
Story
Buddhadasa discovers the Buddha's Law – and recognizes in it a serum against rampant materialism. The way to happiness is not just different – it is opposite from the way in which we pursue it.
