Jet, flying high above my house |
In my Philosophy of Religion classes I've been teaching basic Buddhist ideas in relation to the problem of suffering and evil.
Here's a nice article on the Buddhist denial of a "self" - "for Buddhists there is no self in the deeper sense that no one exists as a singular, permanent structure distinct and isolated in any meaningful way from the rest of the world." ("Only connect: Buddhism and ecology both refuse to separate the human and natural worlds – and demand that we act accordingly," by David Barash)
