Cosmology and Buddhist Thought: A Conversation with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson Oct 2, 2013

by Jerome Freedman

( 21 )

$4.74

Cosmology and Buddhist Thought is the result of a conversation with astrophysicist and television celebrity, Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, that took place in New York at the end of May, 2011.

While cosmologists look at the outer space with massive instruments and difficult calculations using mathematics, Buddhists look at inner space with mindfulness and concentration.

Both paths lead to insights about fundamental questions about why and how we got here, what we are doing here, what are our connections and interactions with the universe, and what is our destiny.

Cosmologists study life on earth from an objective point of view and examine its causes. Buddhists study life on earth with regard to understanding its challenges and how to resolve them.

Both Buddhism and cosmology recognize that we live in an emerging, evolving, and impermanent universe – everything is changing.

Dr. Tyson’s insights into the origins of life on earth, time scales, ecology, and religion are inspiring, to say the least, and extremely wise to read and contemplate.

His responsiveness to Buddhist ideas of co-dependent arising, interbeing (interconnectedness), impermanence, the self, nirvana, and consciousness demonstrates much more than a “Reader’s Digest knowledge of Buddhism.”

A close reading of the conversation reveals that Buddhist thought does not have much to contribute to cosmology. Cosmology, on the other hand, has a lot to contribute to Buddhism.

Stop Cancer in its Tracks: How to Embrace Mindfulness in Healing was begun with the onset of bladder cancer in 1997. He maintained a diary for many months and kept it up for as long as it benefited other people living with all forms of cancer and life-threatening illnesses.

“I found writing an online diary to be extremely beneficial to keep track of all the different forms of medical treatment, both traditional and alternative.

Seven Secrets to Stop Interruptions in Meditation: How to Concentrate and Focus on Your Meditation and Deal with Distractions (Meditation Practices Book 1) Dec 18, 2012

by Jerome Freedman

( 2 )

$2.99

Most people who hear about meditation either do not take up a meditation practice or abandon the meditation practice because they get interrupted and distracted.

They get interrupted by thoughts, feelings, emotions, plans, images, bodily sensations, dreams, sleep, and many other mental, emotional and physical phenomena and just give up.

This book will guide you in such a way that interruptions and distractions won’t deter you from meditating. You will learn that these are normal occurrences for even the long time practitioners.

This book is designed with you, the reader in mind. I know how difficult it is to not do anything but sit there! I know how the mind can wander from here to there like the flow of a never ending river.

But that’s just the point! We know our minds flit from one thing to another, seemingly without purpose. It happens because we are anxious or worried or fearful or stressed out or overweight or ____. (You fill in the blank!)

With meditation, you can learn to observe the river of your thoughts, feelings, emotions, sensations and other objects of mind and not get carried away. All it takes is practice!

When you train in physical fitness, you know what happens when you start skipping your workouts. The same is true in mental fitness (i. e., meditation). It is important to realize that missing a day or two is not that harmful.

Giving up mental fitness because you feel distracted or interrupted is the wrong way to approach it. You can learn to concentrate and focus on your meditation and deal with distractions.

With all the scientific evidence for the benefits of meditation, it is a wonder that more people aren't doing it. The scientific evidence points out two interesting findings.

First, people who have never meditated before can produce observable evidence in their brains that the meditation has been beneficial.

Second, these beneficial effects can wear off if the meditation practices are discontinued.

With all this evidence, don't you think you should be meditating?
