SCIENCE for MONKS
creating science learning communities with tibetan buddhist monastics since 2001
"I wanted to understand science because it gave me a new area to explore in my personal quest to understand the nature of reality. I also wanted to learn about it because I recognized in it a compelling way to communicate insights gleaned from my own spiritual tradition."
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
