Buddhism and Science

Science devoid of morality spells only destruction - it becomes a draconian monster which man discovered. Unfortunately, this very monster is becoming more powerful than man himself unless he learns to restrain and govern that monster through the practice of spiritual awareness. Science, when coupled with a lifestyle such as Buddhism, can transform this world into a haven of peace, security, and happiness.

Spirituality without science is crippled, while science without spirituality is blind.

Albert Einstein paid a tribute to Buddhism when he said in his autobiography: “if there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs, it would be Buddhism”.

It requires no revision to keep it “up to date” with recent scientific findings.

It need not surrender its views to science, because it embraces science as well as going beyond it.

It is a bridge between spiritual and scientific thought, because it stimulates man to discover the latent potentialities within himself and his environment. Buddhism is a timeless, enjoyable lifestyle.
