Introduction to WISDOM SCIENCE Institute with Liu Ming
9am- Noon: The Basic Cosmology that Informs all Asian Science and Religion ($25)
The morning's talk will explore and compare the cosmology of the Asian Wisdom Tradition and its lucid non-theistic premise with the modern "Science versus Religion" dilemma in the modern West.
2-5pm The Dream of WISDOM SCIENCE Institute Liu Ming will share his dream of creating an academy of science that continues and expresses the Wisdom Traditions of Asia. (FREE)
Everyone has heard of shamanism (shaman is a Siberian term), Buddhism (mostly the form derived from India) and Daoism (China's home-grown religion) ... maybe also Confucianism, Shinto, Bon and Central Asian Buddhism - we think of these as the various traditions of Asia but they represent only the religious manifestations of a single Wisdom Tradition that has not only created religious expressions but also systems of divination, medicine and science. As Joseph Needham (of Cambridge University) has shown, it may be that Asia is home of the notion of "scientific investigation and experimentation". In fact, the glamorous presentations of Asian religious practice show only a small part of what makes Asia's Wisdom Tradition great.
