quote - value in modernity - emptiness - nothing holy - nothing of value - nothing to accomplish Barry Magid - What is the ultimate meaning of Buddhism? - We need to ask that if we’re going to practice it in our lives. - Bodhidharma is vast emptiness, nothing holy. - The way we usually express a version of that is through the idea of - no gain, - that there is nothing to fix, - nothing to accomplish. - I particularly try to express that in a psychological sense in which we don’t have to - improve ourselves or - fix ourselves or - remove any underlying defect or - fill in any kind of deficit.

• My overall objective in this paper is to
  • unite the sciences of ecology and evolution
  • with the spiritual practice of Zen
    • in order to inspire actions to address the extinction crisis that we are currently facing.
  • I do this by addressing the following three points:
    • Zen and science are both based upon empirical observations of the world.
    • Zen and science both tell us that there is no separation between humans and the world around us.
  • Ecology and evolution provide the scientific background needed to address the biodiversity crisis;
    • Zen provides the deeper knowing that will motivate our action to address this problem
