Why scientists turn to Buddhism: The hidden science in Buddhism

Einstein thinks Buddhism is best for science

(The best Philosophy of Life) UNITED STATES. What is the relationship between Buddhism and science? It is a fascinating study that bridges ancient wisdom and modern knowledge-seeking. Both Buddhism and empirical science strive to understand the true nature of reality, albeit through different methodologies and perspectives. While Buddhism focuses on the inner experiences and transformative practices leading to enlightenment, science relies on empirical evidence and logical reasoning to uncover the laws governing the natural world. Despite these differences, there are significant areas of convergence where Buddhist teachings and scientific discoveries resonate and complement each other.

Buddhism and Science: Collected Essays

It is a historical fact that the scientific revolution that arose in the 17th century in the West was largely responsible for upsetting the earlier religious conception of the universe. Not only did science controvert the specific dogmas of Western religions, but it seemed to have undermined the foundations as well as the fundamental concepts implicit in the religious outlook on things.

The new cosmology of Copernicus, Galileo, and their successors altered the geocentric [earth at the center] picture of the universe although it was pronounced to be “contrary to the Holy Scriptures.” The new biology (theory of evolution) upset the doctrines of the special creation and the fall of man.

And the new psychology seemed to show that the human mind, like the physical body, worked on a pattern of causal law and that however deep one plumbed its depths, there was not discoverable in it an unchanging soul that governed its activities entirely.

EQ, BA (Supawan Green)

But much more serious was the effect of the scientific outlook on the general religious attitude, which involved a belief in a personal God, in purpose, and in the objectivity of moral values.

Science made its discoveries and progressed quite comfortably on the assumption of universal causation without the necessity for teleological explanations [karma and karmic results] or divine intervention. It dealt with an amoral universe indifferent to the aspirations of humans.

As among humans, moral values, like economic values, were subjective since they were dependent on the needs and desires of humans, and an ethical humanism was the best that could be hoped for.

Even such an ethics need not be universal, for as anthropologists discovered, different societies seem to have followed different moral codes that suited them, and ethical relativism was the scientific truth about the nature of moral values. More

Google, Facebook spying on citizens

Welcome to the Surveillance State, Winston. - I didn't sign up for this, Big Brother! - Don't you remember clicking on the consent form? - That gobbledygook of Legalese? - It's legally binding. We sell your data to government agencies, so they protect us.

Big Brother (MZ) is always watching.

Want to freak out? Let’s look at just how much of our information evil corporations like Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook and a corporation's Google scan and store about us without us even realizing it.

Google knows where we’ve been. Google stores our location (if we have location tracking turned on for convenience and functionality) every time we turn on your phone (even though it listens and can hear perfectly well when "off").

We can see a timeline of where we’ve been from the very first day we started using Google on our phone, which does not come as a choice on Android. [Tracking by Apple, Inc. is done with Safari and other programs.]

Google spying: tracking me throughout Ireland

Anyone can click on this link to see his or her own data: google.com/maps/timeline? Here is every place I have been in the last 12 months in Ireland. Spies can see the time of day that I was at each location and how long it took me to get to that location from my previous one. More: organicallyhuman.com
