A robot teaching Buddhism

NEW AI DISCUSSION SERIES ON BUDDHISM

We presented the increasingly emerging artificial intelligence to solve the fundamental Buddhist question as well as the problems that are currently being solved. Surprisingly, the answers are not only entertaining, but also instructive in many ways. Sometimes to such an extent that one wonders whether in the future artificial intelligence could participate in the teaching of Buddhism.

Gradually, in this series, we will publish the answers to the questions we asked the artificial intelligence. We will not edit the answers in any way. We will also add illustrations created by artificial intelligence in connection with the discussed topic.

WHEN WE ARE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT BUDDHISM WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, WE ASKED RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING TO BE SURE, WHETHER A ROBOT CAN REACH NIBBANA?
Nibbana (also known as nirvana in Sanskrit) is a term in Buddhism that refers to the final state of enlightenment, freedom from suffering and suffering, and the attainment of absolute peace and tranquility. This state is often understood as the ultimate goal of Buddhist spiritual endeavor.

It is important to note that in Buddhism, nibbana is associated with consciousness, enlightenment, and spiritual development. It is not just a physical state or existence, but rather a state of mind and consciousness. Nibbana is often described as a state in which all desires, trappings, and identifications that lead to suffering are freed.

Robots are machines that are created by humans and have limited intelligence that is based on programming and algorithms. Robots do not have consciousness and therefore cannot attain enlightenment or nibbana in the Buddhist sense. Nibbana is a matter of consciousness and spiritual development that can only be understood in the context of human being.

The Buddhist doctrine of enlightenment concerns ethics, meditation, and spiritual endeavors that are connected to human consciousness and the inner life. For this reason, robots or other inanimate entities are not believed to be able to attain nibbana.

This is how artificial intelligence imagines a robot reaching nibbana, if of course it could achieve it :-)
