A talk with Vincent Keisan Vuillemin

The Higgs boson verifies the actual standard Model which directs our understanding of particle physics and allows us to visualize how matter is arising in our universe from what we call vacuity. This process is similar to the relationship between the vacuity and our material reality, described already in the ancient Buddhist and Zen scriptures. The conference will relate these perspectives and will propose some comparison between particle physics and zen in an aproach understandable by everyone.

As a physicist, Vincent Keisen Vuillemin joined the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in 1980. he participated in the construction for the new CERN accelerator, the LHC, and occupied various managerial positions, Keisen was ordenained Zen monk in 1987 and later as Zen Master. He leads the Zen Dojo of Geneva, Switzerland.
