February 16, 2009 Elizabeth Landau -- CNN.com Writer/Producer Just days after the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin, the father of evolutionary theory, journalists and scientists from all over the world converged to confront a fascinating connection: Some of Darwins views have a lot in common with Buddhist teachings. Speaking at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, psychologist Paul Ekman, known for his research showing the universality of facial expressions across cultures, told us that Darwins descriptions of compassion, as well as his view of morality as it relates to compassion, closely mirror Buddhist ideas. Theres always the possibility that two wise people looking at the same species will come up with the same conclusions, said Ekman, who co-wrote a book with the Dalai Lama on compassion called Emotional Awareness: Overcoming the Obstacles to Psychological Balance and Compassion. It turns out that Darwins friend Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker, a botanist and explorer, visited Tibet in 1847. He became familiar with Zen Buddhist views there, and wrote letters to Darwin. This is just one of many ways that Darwin could have been influenced by Buddhist teachings, Ekman said. For Darwin and Buddhists, the seed for compassion is in the mother-infant relationship this is simple compassion, Ekman said. Then theres global compassion for example, sending money and clothes to victims of a natural disaster. Finally, heroic compassion means risking your own life to

save another and you probably dont know if you have heroic compassion unless youve been in a situation like that, Ekman said. The fundamental idea in both Darwins writings and Buddhist views of compassion is that when I see you suffer, it makes me suffer, and that motivates me to reduce your suffering so I can reduce my suffering, Ekman said. The curious coincidence of views serves as a backdrop for understanding the nature of compassion, he said. Im not by any means accusing Darwin of plagiarism, he explained.
