Abstract
“Welcome to a second series of monthly talks about Buddhism in terms of our lived experiences. It has been nearly a year since the first of these were given. Looking back, I realize that our world is still struggling with the pandemic and a number of troubling issues long after we hoped all would be under control. My concern in this talk is to present some of the Buddhist ideas of ‘cause’ in a fashion that gives relevance to the issues that are besetting us. Our world is dealing with debates that concern ‘disinformation.’ From left and right come claims and counterclaims. What do Buddhists have to say that can give us some guidance in such a situation? Can we determine what ‘cause’ is in terms of information available to us?”
