"The Buddhist view is that “consciousness has co-existed, co-exits and will co-exist with matter for all times. The same goes for the animate with the inanimate” (Thuan 2001, 213). From the Buddhist perspective, “one can thus interpret the Big Bang as the manifestation of the phenomenal world from an infinite potentiality already in existence".
This could well turn into an Adrian type blog and I am not going to venture down that pathway.
"The foregoing analysis makes it clear that globalisation, from the Buddhist perspective, means the ongoing process of change encompassing all elements in Nature, both physical and mental, which are mutually interdependent. Globalisation, therefore, cannot relate only to humankind aside from the context of everything else in Nature".
Professor Mass Communications Department, Minnesota State University is the writer of this article when examining The Buddhist perspective of globalisation in writing for the Daily News in Sri Lanka, so for those who are deeply involved in the pursuit of Buddhism I'll give you the link
Other comments from the web concern the debate as to whether Buddhism is the official religion of Thailand or not.
Again, "The suffering of the world today demands action. But often enough, far too often, our action increases suffering because we lack understanding " This is related to a Buddhist theme.
"The importance of food was for the maintenance of the body so that spiritual practice could be properly sustained, not for the pleasure of eating in itself:" is another perspective.
It seems journeying into Buddhism, although very attractive to many is not a simple solution or an easily acquired philosophy and/or religion but there is universal interest.
But the final crunch comes when "Osama Denounces "Pagan Buddhism": How Talibangelical of Him" and for the full source and text of this I give you the link
And I think that is about as far as I can go with the overall perspective but if I come across some particular features of Buddhism that I consider may interest you I'll pass them on.
