Buddha Beyond Science and Religion | EP 0: An Invitation to Look at the Mind

Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]This series is not asking you to change your faith.

[00:00:03]You do not need to be Buddhist, you do not need to believe in anything new.

[00:00:08]Be whatever you are. Believe in whatever faith your heart says.

[00:00:13]The series Buddha Beyond Science and Religion  is simply an invitation to look, to explore how the mind actually works, using techniques the Buddha has discovered through observation.

[00:00:26]Many people today treat Buddhism like a fortune  machine. Praying for wealth, health, happiness or love or to remove sadness and bad luck. But  this is a very big misunderstanding.

[00:00:39]Buddha was a human who discovered how the mind truly works, not through belief but through precise observation.

[00:00:47]He understood that the mind had processes  that log intention based actions, which lead to outcomes shaped by previous conditions.

[00:00:56]We talk about this casually in everyday life as  karma but rarely pause to examine the underlying mechanism by which intention conditions perception, behavior and outcome.

[00:01:09]In this series, I will use the language of modern technology, computers, AI, hardware and software, system design, and  coding logic as metaphors to explain the Buddha's teaching to the modern mind.

[00:01:25]Some believe tattoos bring protection and prosperity.

[00:01:28]Others think candles and incense rise to the heavens.

[00:01:32]And the Buddha statues somehow listen to prayers.

[00:01:36]Some even used Buddha images as  decoration in bars, restaurants, gardens, and even in toilets. But  the Buddha never taught any of this.

[00:01:52]All metaphors I use are modern  explanations based on my understanding, not literal Buddhist doctrine. And for accuracy,  at the end of each episode, we will reference the early canon.

[00:02:06]Welcome to the Buddha beyond  science and religion. Let's dive in together.
