THE BUDDHIST VIEW OF INTERDEPENDENCE IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD 2021 (ENG)

From 19 to 28 March a series of meetings between masters of Buddhist philosophy and Western experts promoted together with the Centre for Buddhist Studies of the University of Naples “L’Orientale” to talk about the principle of interdependence.

What does interdependence mean? How are we all interconnected? Is it possible to live separated from the rest and without others? Or, as the pandemic has taught us, is even a tiny organism like the COVID-19 virus capable of stopping the world, its economy, families, people?

Interdependence will be the focus of a debate between great teachers of the Buddhist philosophy and Western experts from different disciplines, who will join the special webinar meetings organized by ASIA and the Centre for Buddhist Studies of the University of Naples “L’Orientale”.

A great opportunity to investigate the scientific, ethical, philosophical, environmental, educational and economic dimensions of a concept that is increasingly widespread and debated, also in the light of recent events, that have disrupted our lives in every corner of the world.
From 19 to 28 March, five appointments of 1.30 hours each, during which this issue will be addressed from multiple perspectives, revealing the interconnections that rule the universe, the mind, the body, nature and society.

The event is part of the education project Diverse but not distant, promoted by ASIA and funded by AICS – Italian Agency for Development Cooperation.

The project aims to promote some universal values such as empathy, interdependence and nonviolence to foster equality and interaction between different peoples, in an ever closer intertwining of local, national and global, that as individuals and as a community, each one with our own specificities, we can knowingly affect.
