In spring 2008, Templeton Foundation Press will be publishing Tibetan Buddhism and Modern Physics: Toward a Union of Love and Knowledge by Vic Mansfield. In anticipation of this publication, Mansfield has begun scheduling lectures and events on topics in this book. His schedule can be found on his Web site.
One reason Mansfield studies the connections of Tibetan Buddhism and physics is to respond to the “heartfelt plea” of His Holiness the Dalai Lama for the collaboration between science and Tibetan Buddhism in order to show how the religion is compatible with modern living. His Holiness the Dalai Lama will be touring the U.S. this month.
