Secular Humanist Buddhism
<p>S<strong>ecular Buddhism follows the rules laid out by reason and human experience, avoiding the influence of supernatural or religious ideas. This all-encompassing philosophy illuminates human values by encouraging adherence to moral principles without dogma or ceremony.</strong> So basically, it’s a secular paradigm that promotes scientific inquiry, empathy training, and critical thinking as socially desirable traits. <strong>Throughout the balance of my article, I will refer to Secular Buddhism with the initials SB</strong></p>
<p>On the other hand, <strong>SB</strong> developed as a response to traditional Buddhist teachings that separated itself from supernatural aspects and emphasized ethical and contemplative elements. Mindfulness, meditation, and the Four Noble Truths are essential tenets; however, they do not adhere strictly to some classical Buddhist views' cosmic or divine aspects. <strong>To make Buddhist ideas more applicable and approachable to individual and community well-being, SB’s seek to harmonize them with a more rational and nonreligious framework.</strong></p>
