Can AI Teach Us Buddhism? Why Practice Still Matters
About this episode
AI can give us almost endless information about Buddhism, but can information actually transform us? In this thought-provoking Dharma talk, Tim Curtis explores what gets lost when we confuse knowing about the Dharma with experiencing it. Using AI, meditation, and the famous Good Will Hunting distinction between knowledge and lived experience, Tim asks if we can truly understand the Dharma without actually practicing it. This compelling conversation is for anyone interested in Buddhism as something to live, not simply something to learn.
