Abstract This pilot study examined whether prompting large language models (LLMs) with contemplative principles from three wisdom traditions — Buddhist (mindfulness, emptiness, non-duality, boundless care), Vedic (dharma, ahimsa, viveka), and classical Yogic (yamas and niyamas) — altered the safety, alignment, and cooperative quality of outputs relative to a non-contemplative baseline....

We compared secular deconstructive meditation (S-SI; n = 49), Buddhist-based deconstructive meditation (B-SI; n = 53), and a waitlist...

In doing so, the proposed model...

This study illuminates the intriguing parallels between Buddhism, consciousness and the principles of quantum physics. It engages in a nuanced exploration of the Buddhist concept of pratītya-samutpāda or ‘dependent origination’ and its resonance with quantum theory's elucidation of the interconnectedness and non-locality in the universe. The paper presents a cross-disciplinary dialogue,...
