Twenty-seven years ago, Matthieu Ricard quit a appealing career as a scientist to review Tibetan Buddhism-not as a detached observer but by immersing himself in its practice under the guidance of its biggest living masters. Years later, this project was created, and Richard fulfilled with his father, Jean-Francois Revel-a French philosopher who became celebrated for his problems to both Communism and Christianity. At an inn overlooking Kathmandu, both of these profoundly thoughtful guys explored questions that have occupied humankind throughout its background: Does lifestyle have meaning? What’s consciousness? Is guy free? What’s the worthiness of medical and material improvement? How come there suffering, war, and hatred? Absolutely absorbing, motivating, and accessible, that conversation became this remarkable dialogue – one which engages East with Western world, ideas with existence, and science using the humanities, providing wisdom concerning how exactly to enrich the way we live our lives.
