Description
Why does a robot engineer say, "I believe robots have the buddha-nature within them-that is, the potential for attaining buddhahood," as Masahiro Mori does in this book? How does an engineering specialist look at Buddhism? What relationship does he find between science and religion? What values does Buddhism have in our present technological age?
As a scientist who attracts his readers not only through his practical approach but also through his engaging style, Dr. Mori doesn't take us up into the high mountains to ex- pound abstract philosophy. Instead, he keeps his feet firmly on level ground, and his outlook is toward concrete matters. In graphic demonstrations of Buddhist principles at work, he offers a thoroughly reliable guide for living in the complex world of modern society.
Dr. Mori's discussion of the various truths and principles of Buddhism in terms that make sense to people living in a scientific age will appeal to everyone who wishes to live a genuinely happy and meaningful life.
