Confluence of Philosophies: UX Design and Buddha's Path
What happens when ancient wisdom meets modern design? In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the transformative intersection between User Experience (UX) Design and the timeless teachings of the Buddha.
Drawing from the chapter “Inception of Harmonious Design,” this conversation unpacks how the Eightfold Path—right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration—can serve as a powerful framework for creating more ethical, empathetic, and mindful digital experiences.
We dive into questions like:
- Can UX design be a spiritual practice?
- How do concepts like detachment and compassion reshape user-centricity?
- Is it possible to align innovation and ethical responsibility?
Whether you're a designer, technologist, or spiritual seeker, this episode invites you to reimagine your role in shaping the digital world—not just for utility and efficiency, but for well-being, awareness, and deeper human connection. This is more than a design discussion—it’s a journey toward conscious creation in the digital age.
