Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment is a 2017 book by journalist and evolutionary psychologist Robert Wright. As of August 2017, the book had peaked at The New York Times No. 4 bestseller in hardcover nonfiction.
In Why Buddhism is True, Wright advocates a secular, Westernized form of Buddhism focusing on the practice of mindfulness meditation and stripped of supernatural beliefs such as reincarnation. He further argues that more widespread practice of meditation could lead to a more reflective and empathetic population and reduce political tribalism. In line with his background, Wright draws heavily on evolutionary biology and evolutionary psychology to defend the correctness of Buddhism's diagnosis of the causes of human suffering. He argues the modern psychological idea of the modularity of mind resonates with the Buddhist teaching of no-self (anatman).

評分“佛學是真實的”這一陳述並不包括佛學中宗教性的內容,它指的是釋迦摩尼最早對於人類狀況(human condition)最基礎的洞見和理解。在2500年前幾乎沒有現代科學知識的背景下,釋迦摩尼通過冥修對人性根本狀況進行瞭深刻洞察,而在此洞察基礎上提齣的一係列主張,和現代科學對人腦的認識、對進化心理學的理解竟是完全可以印證的。因此,佛學幾韆年前提齣的道德主張、精神追求不是憑空而來,而是基於和現代科學一緻的對人性的洞察,它沒有過時,對現代人同樣意義深遠。這就是此書的主旨。 這本書的前半部分主要闡述佛學對人腦基本狀況的觀察、理解、洞見,指明人痛苦的來源以及解脫方式,把這些與現代科學對人腦的基本認知互相印證。後半部分則著重於講述這些洞見對人的道德主張、精神追求的意義。
