Redefining 'Wealth' for the individuals -Buddhist Perspective in the Search of Sustainable Well-being

Under the influence of the Market Economy; the level of economic activities — material production, consumption, and possession, indicated by index such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) — is deemed the measurement of human wellness. (Ims 2013) Increasingly, however, the limitations of such a narrow measure are reflected in modern maladies such as deteriorating mental health and economic crises. Thus, a renewed definition of wealth — one that is more holistic and long-lasting— is called for. This issue can be addressed on the individual, societal/ institutional, and environmental/ ecological levels; this short article focuses on the individual level.

The Intersections of Buddhism and Quantum Physics and Their Implications

(Heisenberg 1925, Schrödinger 1926) This discovery has significant implications for the ongoing attempt to bridge the gap between science and spirituality. Modern Buddhist scholars and scientists have come to find striking similarities between the philosophical concepts articulated by Mahayana Buddhism, such as the teaching of emptiness by Nagarjuna, and that implied by quantum physics (Kohl 2007). Most significantly, both suggest the absence of a stable, fundamental core to reality and that the universe is made up of nothing else but systems of interrelationships. In this short article, the intersection between Buddhism and quantum physics will be explored, with a focus on the doctrine of Emptiness and the Two Truths as taught by Nagarjuna.
