Dhamma Bridges
Finding intersections between dhamma and Western psychology always buoys my faith - these are disciplines I already have some understanding of, and often they express their insights in my language, from a shared cultural background. With an evolving understanding of how to discern dhamma from adhamma, I can look at these disciplines and modalities and consider for myself whether their teachings are dhamma-aligned or not. The Buddha didn’t claim a monopoly on truth, and many practitioners of numerous different traditions altogether are coming at the same conclusions, along with contemporary scientists.
