The Buddha Meets Socrates: A Philosopher's Journal
In 2004, Harrison J. Pemberton embarked on a journey to teach Western philosophy to a group of young Buddhist monks in India. One monk in particular was poised to study: His Holiness the 17th Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje. Together these scholars generated a dialogue of teaching and learning, looking at the work of Western philosophers and comparing it to Buddhist philosophy, questioning how the Buddha and Socrates might meet. The Buddha Meets Socrates is a philosopher's journal chronicling this process of inquiry and exchange.
