Narrative As Books The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality

Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Niels Bohr, Einstein. Their insights shook our perception of who we are and where we stand in the world, and in their wake have left an uneasy coexistence: science vs. religion, faith vs. empirical inquiry. Which is the keeper of truth? Which is the true path to understanding reality?

After forty years of study with some of the greatest scientific minds, as well as a lifetime of meditative, spiritual, and philosophic study, the Dalai Lama presents a brilliant analysis of why all avenues of inquiry—scientific as well as spiritual—must be pursued in order to arrive at a complete picture of the truth. Through an examination of Darwinism and karma, quantum mechanics and philosophical insight into the nature of reality, neurobiology and the study of consciousness, the Dalai Lama draws significant parallels between contemplative and scientific examinations of reality.

This breathtakingly personal examination is a tribute to the Dalai Lama’s teachers—both of science and spirituality. The legacy of this book is a vision of the world in which our different approaches to understanding ourselves, our universe, and one another can be brought together in the service of humanity.

Criticize Of Books The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality

Fantastic reflection on and insight to various popular topics in science such as the Big Bang, genetic modification of crops, and consciousness. Through these examples, he shows how science and Buddhism agree in areas and disagree in others. Throughout, he expresses the joy conversations with scientists have brought him in learning about another perspective and integrating that knowledge with his already extensive understanding of Hindu and Buddhist knowledge.[return][return]It reads much like a

I had really, really high hopes for this book, and I feel awful for giving the freaking Dalai Lama a bad book review (of all things), but it was a major disappointment. I couldnt help but continuously wonder where the narrative was going, the anecdotes and stories werent particularly intriguing or compelling, and it was frankly hard to finish. There are other, more interesting books on this and related topics. I hope this assault on the Lamas writing doesnt mean that Im slated to reincarnate as

Gained on-loan from my Buddhist sister at my own whim, I've found the spirit of the writing very much like what I'd expect: calm, concise, and worth consideration. Though there are some places where the logic does not come to one readily, the essence is fascinating... almost readily agreeable. Namely, that science and spirituality/religion are never to be seen as opposites, or even enmeshed, but rather interdependent. Being a Christian myself, with interests in many things religious regardless

3/5DNFI have read a few books by the Dalai Lama XIV, that are based on the combining of spiritual practice and the science that drives the world. I have always loved his work, his thoughts, and his message. He truly is a blessed man. I am keeping this review short because there are a few reasons on why I did not finish (DNF) this book. 1. Time - this was a library book that was sent to me from another library quite a ways away. Due to travel, time commitments, and finishing up 3 other books I

'In each atom of the realms of the universe, there exist vast oceans of world systems' - The great Flower Ornament, an ancient Buddhist scripture.In the book, The Universe in a Single Atom The Convergence of Science and Spirituality, His Holiness the Dalai Lama explores the fields of science and spirituality. To begin, most people believe there is a distinct difference between science and spirituality and the two cannot co-exist. Despite this, the Dalai Lama suggests the two are confluent. He

This is a brilliant book. The Dalai Lama's theme is that science's emphasis on non-personal, "third-person" study and religion's emphasis on "first person" experience and awareness could be complementary.If you have heard the Dalai Lama speak in his non-native tongue (English), he is a fantastic personality and he smiles a lot, but his communication is limited. It is a pleasure to read his ideas written first and then translated into English. This book reveals a mind that sparkles with wit,

Maybe my favorite read so far about how science and faith can work together. The Dalai Lama is rapidly becoming one of my favorite religious figures.
