Nanjing University Q&A Session The main speaker of this session is Khenpo Sodargye Navigating Logic, Science, and the Inevitable Laws of Karma
In this expansive Q&A at Nanjing University, following a lecture on Buddhism's perspective of life science, Khenpo Sodargye handles a rich variety of profound and practical inquiries from doctoral and master's students. He addresses the modern quest for inner peace, advocating the Mahayana practice of exchanging self and others as the ultimate tool for generating altruistic compassion. Topics range widely: from deciphering the practical power of singing the Heart Sutra and chanting the six-syllable mantra, to examining the rigorous logic of karmic cause and effect through the lens of scientific causality. Khenpo offers insights into the respectful mutual learning occurring between Tibetan and Han Buddhism, and touches upon deep metaphysical subjects including reincarnation, the alaya consciousness, and how past karmic imprints shape present personalities. With humility, he also shares his personal daily routines, his passion for translating sutras, and his steadfast devotion, inspiring young intellectuals to weave an altruistic mindset into their everyday worldly pursuits.
