¡°Buddhism and Modern Science¡±
Do you know Einstein pointed to the core of Buddhism
in his renowned theory of E=mc2? What is the connection between the
scientific discovery of the butterfly effect and the Buddhist teaching of
dependent origination? Before physicists unveiled the wave-particle duality and
uncertainty principles in quantum mechanics, Buddha was already teaching the
delusion of subject-object distinction more than 2,500 years ago. Don¡¯t miss
this exciting lecture as Abbot Ven. Jian Hu of Chung Tai Zen Center of
Sunnyvale, a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence, will explain some fascinating
connections between Buddhist philosophy and modern science.
This
event is also 8 years anniversary celebration
for IBC TV Foundation. IBCTVF¡¯s basic mission is promoting
positive cultural values and Zen and life talk on television. IBC TV Foundation
is a non-profit organization, established December 1st
1997 in Washington State. Frances Goldman, who founded IBC TV
Foundation, previously managed Seattle Chinese Television media business. During the
media work, Frances learned that
Zen and life teaching are very positive messages for everyone. So Frances decided
to invite master Jian Hu to give a ¡°Buddhism and Modern Science¡±
lecture on IBC TV¡¯s anniversary celebration.
Venerable Jian Hu
came to the US from Taiwan as a teenager and went on to graduate from California
Institute of Technology and UC, San Diego with a doctorate in Computer Science,
specializing in Artificial Intelligence. In pursuit of a more meaningful life,
he renounced all worldly attachments and returned to Taiwan to study under
Venerable Master Wei Chueh, founding Abbot of Chung Tai Chan Monastery and a
living legend in Zen Buddhism. Educated in the forefront of western sciences
with a deep appreciation of the Asian culture, Ven. Jian Hu understands well the
American culture and especially the high-tech environment in the U.S. He is
frequently invited to give lectures or conduct retreats across U.S. and abroad,
such as Stanford University and other colleges, high schools, as well as high
tech companies and organizations in America and Asia. A tireless teacher, Ven.
Jian Hu is admired by his students for his wisdom, practical teachings,
effective communication, and a sense of humor. He has helped establish five Zen
Centers in the U.S. and is currently the abbot of the Chung Tai Zen Center of
Sunnyvale in Northern California (Website:
