ABSTRACT

It is a happy marriage of Mahayana Buddhism and science. The religion is not world-denying; it teaches that everything, from food to sex, can be a road to enlightenment and liberation. Science is devoted to such practical tasks as improving tropical crops and devising psychological methods for reducing dangerous aggressions in society. In contrast to Brave New World the family flourishes, but in a broader form. Fifteen to twenty-five households combine into an extended family. Any child fed up with his own parents can take a refreshing vacation in another home. Artificial insemination is frequent, but voluntary. It is often employed by couples who want more variety in their children and a better genetic heritage for them.
