Why Buddhism Is True

from What You Will Learn

This week, Ashto and Jonesy venture on a journey through psychology, philosophy, and meditation practices and learn how Buddhism encourages moral clarity and enduring happiness. Written by Robert Wright, Why Buddhism Is True uses the concept of evolutionary psychology and progressive neuroscience to explain the relevance of Buddhist philosophy in improving our lives. According to Wright, Buddhism presents an opportunity to liberate ourselves from the delusions in our minds. How do we stay consistent with our mindfulness practice? Like Neo in The Matrix, You can start by imagining your meditation as a rebellion against an oppressive overlord – the natural selection that perpetrates the delusion to compel you as a slave to its agenda.
