At the February 2010 Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED) Conference, Sam Harris questioned why good and evil, right and wrong are commonly thought unanswerable by science. Sam Harris argues that science can — and should — be an authority on moral issues, shaping human values and setting out what constitutes a good life.

I agree with the premise that is presented here. It is often argued that purview of religion is morality and that science has no place in the discussion. However, a scientific view of morality can, and must, be part of the discussion of the human condition. I believe that Buddhism, unlike western religions, has always viewed the world in a factual, scientific light. Accordingly, this site is dedicated to seeking answers in a discerning, practical manner to understand the human condition related to addiction and substance abuse.
