Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Over 120 statements by Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, and other founders of modern physics are paired with remarkably similar statements by Buddha, Shankara, Chuang Tzu, and other Eastern contemplatives. The purpose of these parallels between Western physicists and Eastern contemplatives is not so much to answer questions as to ask them. These surprising parallel statements of the physicists and contemplatives, grouped into a variety of themes, let you ponder their significance for yourself. What do they suggest to you about the relationship between the scientific and spiritual approaches to understanding reality? Do these parallels hint at a deeper connection between science and religion? If so, what might that be? If not, what is the explanation for so many parallels? Regardless of whether or not you think the parallels indicate a profound unity behind physical and spiritual aspects of reality, these sayings should raise important questions and stimulate deeper insight into the relationship between science and religion.
Endorsements:
"Many have explored the remarkable convergence between the mystical traditions of the world and modern science. However, none of them has done this in a more succinct and convincing way than Einstein and Buddha; this remarkable collection of quotes by famous Eastern mystics and modern physicists is a fascinating contribution to the emerging paradigm." -Stanislav Grof, author of The Cosmic Game and Psychology of the Future
"This anthology provocatively illustrates the points of convergence between the quantitative investigation of the objects of consciousness and the qualitative exploration of consciousness itself." -B. Alan Wallace, author of The Taboo of Subjectivity: Toward a New Science of Consciousness
"Einstein and Buddha provides deep, simple and quotable insights that should help mend the rift between science and spirituality. If you put your thumbs over the quotation sources, you won't be able to tell who said what, when."
-Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., physicist and author of Mind into Matter, The Spiritual Universe
"Einstein and Buddha is an inspired effort to meet the 21st-century challenge of developing a synthetic world view. McFarlane juxtaposes quotations from Eastern contemplatives and Western scientists with insight, clarity and intellectual integrity." -Dr. Ron Leonard, Dept. of Philosophy, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
