If he had, I would have said no, because here we have so many experts on the interior life, who are real professionals. I think that's one of the great contributions of Buddhism to the world—a kind of professional curriculum on the interior life. Although we also have explorers of the interior life in the West, I don't think there's the same kind of systematic dedication to that exploration as is found in ancient India and in particular, in Buddhism.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderHeng ShunDharmaHuman ValueReligious ethicsMethods of ethicsTheological ethicsPhilosophical ethicsArticle
