The Move Into Eastern Philosophy

The move into eastern philosophy came from first a move into ancient greek and virtue theories. And that was like the greek and then the move into eastern was partially by accident, just reading randomly. The core of buddhism is that we suffer because we have beliefs and values and engage in actions that do harm or violence to ourselves and to others. We can bring about real happiness in our own lives and in the world by stepping away from those harmful, violent interactions and activities and thoughts," he says.
