Description
The Enlightened Gene: Biology, Buddhism, and the Convergence that Explains the World By Arri Eisen and Yungdrung Konchok Hardcover, 260 pages, published 2018. In an unprecedented collaboration, Emory University Professor Dr. Arri Eisen and monk Geshe Yungdrung Konchok explore the intersection of Buddhism and modern biology. The result is a profound exploration of how science and spirituality can enrich each other and shed new light on fundamental questions about human existence. From the nature of compassion to the role of death in life, this book offers a fresh perspective on some of the world's most enduring mysteries. The Emory Tibet Science Initiative, which brought together Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns with modern scientists, has yielded groundbreaking insights into the relationship between science and spirituality. This book distills those findings into a compelling narrative that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about the world and our place in it.
