Topic for the July 18 meeting is "What Humanists Can Learn from Buddhism"

Please join us for a presentation on the topic of "What Humanists Can Learn from Buddhism" presented by Daniel Strain

Daniel Strain, former president of HOH, has written for the AHA journal Essays in the Philosophy of Humanism. He currently writes as the Houston Humanist Examiner for Examiner.com.
Daniel will present an overview of Buddhist philosophy. Specific focus will be given to the Humanist perspective and what those with a naturalistic and scientific worldview can take from Buddhism, as well as how the Humanist movement can benefit. Buddhist conception of the world will be compared to modern scientific understandings. Buddhist ethics will be considered, and the operation of Buddhist practices will be addressed.

We look forward to seeing you at 1:00 at the Bayland Community Center, 6400 Bissonnet.
