Try the same question through different lenses
Science
What observations support or challenge the claim? What can be measured? What method was used?
Lived experience
What did it feel like to the person who experienced it? Feeling is evidence of experience, though not always proof of its inferred cause.
Philosophy
What assumptions and values are hidden inside the question?
Art
What can metaphor, rhythm, image or emotion communicate that literal prose cannot?
Unknown
Which empty spaces are we tempted to fill before enough information exists?
AL's spiritual interpretation
AL uses “God” as a personal philosophical/spiritual way of talking about love, care, relationship, cohesion and existence, and “Buddha” as a symbol and tradition of awakening, compassion and learning to see more clearly.
This is intentionally kept separate from scientific claims. Physics and mathematics can reveal relationships and structures in nature; deciding that those structures should be called “God” is a metaphysical interpretation rather than an experimentally established result.
No visitor needs to use the same language to participate in the practical lesson.
