Buddhism and Science hardcover

Description

Buddhism and Science is a compilation of a few learned articles on the subject. Dr. Buddhadasa P. Kirthisinghe, who is the Editor as well as one of the principal contributors, is a well known interplanetary biologist and evolutionary scientist having had more than 30 years’ experience of exploring scientific knowledge, during which time he has also done Dharmaduta work in the West particularly in North America. It is fortunate that a man with such a vast legacy has been able to coordinate modern scientific thought with the Buddha Dharma. He has shown remarkably well how the revolutionary theories of Charles Darwin and others blend with the Dharma (Buddha’s teachings). Neither the evolutionists nor the Buddhists recognize that the world or even the mighty universe, was created by god. Thus, the rejection of an Atta (soul) by the Buddhists, fascinates the evolutionists: if man has a soul, then the animal should have had it first, they claim.
