Buddhism & The Age of Science: Two Addresses

Description

This book contains two insightful addresses by the Honourable Justice U Chan Htoon of Burma, delivered in August 1958. The first speech, 'Buddhism', was delivered to the Sixteenth Congress of the International Association for Religious Freedom (IARF) in Chicago. The second address was given to the Conference on Religion in the Age of Science in New Hampshire. In these lectures, U Chan Htoon explores the unique role that Buddhism can play in resolving the modern conflict between scientific thought and traditional religious beliefs, outlining the fundamental principles of the Buddhist doctrine.
