The Words Of Albert Einstein
The
individual
feels the nothingness of human desires and aims and the sublimity and
marvellous order which reveal themselves both in nature and in the
world of thought. He looks upon individual existence as a sort of
prison and wants to experience the universe as a single significant
whole, the beginnings of cosmic religious feeling already appear in
early stages of development - e.g. in many of the Psalms of David and
in some of the Prophets. Buddhism,
as we
have learnt from the wonderful writings of Schopenhauer especially,
contains much stronger elements of it. The religion of the future will
he a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid
dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it
should he based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all
things, natural and spiritual and a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers
this description. If there is any religion that would cope with modern
scientific needs it would be Buddhism.
One
of Einstein's great insights was to realize that matter and energy are
really different forms of the same thing. Matter can be turned into
energy, and energy into matter.
E= mc2
E=energy m=mass c=speed of light
The big bang was when energy became matter. The Heart Sutra says "Form is emptiness and emptiness is form"
