Reimagining Buddhism: Bridging Science and Culture

This chapter examines how Tibetan Buddhism can be revitalized through the lens of Darwinism and modern technology, offering a fresh perspective for Western audiences. By exploring concepts like dependent co-arising and the potential influence of cultural narratives, it proposes a Westernized approach to Buddhism that embraces contemporary challenges. The discussion also contrasts the adaptive capabilities of Buddhism with the static nature of Hinduism, advocating for innovation to align ancient teachings with modern societal needs.
