Form and Emptiness. From Buddhism to Science and Back

Form and Emptiness. From Buddhism to Science and Back

Form and Emptiness. From Buddhism to Science and Back [Forma i pustka. Od buddyzmu do nauki z powrotem], ed. Artur Przybysławski, Hung, Opole 2005.

"If Buddhism, which is not any cult of any god, is considered to be a religion, it is a specific kind of religion since many scientific discoveries (especially in quantum physics) are surprisingly in harmony with the teachings of Buddha. It turns out that this 2500 year-old system is supported not only by the authority of many meditation masters. It is praised by such Noble prize winners as Niels Bohr, Francis H.C. Crick or Albert Einstein, who says that: «if there is any religion that can match modern scientific standards, it is Buddhism.»"
