Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective Now A Skype Speaker Series

EL CERRITO, Calif. - Dec. 10, 2015 - PRLog -- Life and Death: A Buddhist Perspective, the book by James Hilgendorf, is now the centerpiece of a continuing series of speaking engagements that the author is presenting via Skype video to smaller groups around the United States and the world.

"Skype video", says Hilgendorf, "makes it possible now to conduct meaningful, person-to-person small-group discussion sessions anywhere in the world without incurring the costs of travel.  It makes it very economical for a group of people to host the discussion of a fascinating topic for their members."

The science versus religion debate - atheism vs. fundamentalism, the world of science and evolution vs. creationism - is raging today more than ever.  The lines are drawn, neither side is giving in, and the rhetoric is growing more and more vitrolic.

Hilgendorf, in these new series of talks, is promoting a view of ourselves and the universe around us that is both compatible with reason and the most cutting-edge findings of science, and yet, at the same time, promotes a deeply spiritual vision of who we really are, and of our relationship to the unimaginable vastness we see unfolding throughout the cosmos.

James Hilgendorf is a filmmaker, speaker, and the author of ten non-fiction books, one of which is "Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective"

Of the book, one reviewer has written:

"If I were to teach a basic college-level course in religion, philosophy, or metaphysics - call it Spirituality 101 - this book would be required reading.  In fact, it would be the first week's assignment.  Having read all or parts of nearly a thousand books dealing with spiritual matters, I cannot recall another that so simply and effectively blends the fundamentals of religion and science." - Michael E. Tymn, Journal of Religion and Psychical Research.

Hilgendorf has been practicing Buddhism for over forty years with the Soka Gakkai International, the largest Buddhism lay organization in the world now, with 12,000,000 members in 192 countries and territories around the world.  It is in the Buddhism of the Soka Gakkai that he finds a new and emerging worldview that bridges the polarity between religion and science.
