It is well organized.
It is good that the theory of dependent origination is explained outside of Buddhist terminology. In particular, I believe the connection to neuroscience provides an opportunity to reflect on the current discussions regarding Buddhism and science. However, I think it might be difficult for those encountering Buddhist philosophy for the first time. Although opinions may differ, I consider this article to be one that provides foundational knowledge for studying the theory of dependent origination.
I recommend this to those who wonder, "Aren't Non-Self and the True Self (True Self, Buddha-Nature) a contradiction?"
I have become convinced that the way to overcome COVID-19 and the climate crisis is through a worldview and lifestyle based on the Law of Dependent Origination. At the same time, reading this book is resolving the parts of Buddhism that I had gotten stuck on, found ambiguous, or doubted about. I want to read this book many times. Along with the scriptures. Along with practice.
If you are a Buddhist, or have any interest in Buddhism or the Buddha's teachings, I strongly recommend reading this book. There were things I couldn't fully understand even when reading *Dharmakirti's Epistemology*, but reading this book gave me a new realization. It is a must-read for any Buddhist. It provides excellent explanations of non-self and non-ego, and offers enlightenment on concepts we had not previously recognized. While it contains criticisms of Yogacara and the absence of
A book I want to keep by my side and read always, laden with excessive praise for the understanding of Buddhism through modern sciences like quantum mechanics and neuroscience, as well as the philosophy of language and ancient Indian Hindu philosophy.
Credit Bureau: What is perception?
Everything About Dependent Origination in a Single Volume A book that explores the Law of Dependent Origination—the core of Buddhism—in a three-dimensional and comprehensive manner. It offers the most multi-dimensional approach and interpretation to the theory of dependent origination, which is the essence of the Buddha's teachings and is garnering attention as an alternative paradigm for the 21st century! Correct "perception" is not merely knowing that "I and the world are perceived now," but rather thoroughly understanding that "I and the world are now interdependent and arise through dependent origination." Through comparisons with Eastern and Western philosophies and various Buddhist schools such as Abhidharma, Yogacara, Tathāgatagarbha, and Madhyamaka; precise contrasts with similar concepts in Hinduism and Taoism that are often confused with the Buddha's teachings; and cross-examination with the latest disciplines such as quantum mechanics, neuroscience, and biological epistemology, this book leads readers toward a modern interpretation and a correct understanding of the Law of Dependent Origination. Through diverse and thorough arguments, it calls for a conceptual shift in "perception" and, furthermore, presents a path for social practice aimed at fostering a world of coexistence.
