Editorial Review:
Product Description:
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.

- Well written, well intentioned - poorly arguedThough so well-written and polished that it's impossible these are the words of H.H. himself, I have no reason to suspect the spirit and intention behind the words isn't truly his own. This is a great read, and I think that the Dalai Lama had only the best of intentions in producing this work.
It starts out very endearingly, relating his early life and introduction to science through Heinrich Harrer and eventually many eminent scientists, after he fled Tibet in 1959. These encounters ... Read More

- Great wisdom from a great man!I had originally found this book at the library, I had a lot of extra time a few years back and decided to go on a reading quest, anyone ever do that? I only had one book that I read and read it religiously for ten years, The Archaic Revive by Terence McKenna.
I decided to check out the bibliography for this book. I was interested in what books had inspired him and then what books inspired them and so on, I wanted to get to the source of it all, and to make a long story short, eventually ... Read More

- fantastic bookreally interesting. He admits that his understanding of quantum mechanics is not very mathematical, but his essential understanding of its principles and the repercussionsof them on our scientific understanding of the world is actually very deep, and he compares this to the philosophical traditions of TIbetan Buddhism.

- Opinion versus ProofThis is a persuasive essay on the parallels between science and spirituality, based on a lifetime of research. If you're looking for a proof on the convergence of science and spirituality, see www.SolomonsProof.com[...]

- universe in a single atomThe book assumes one has a basic knowledge of buddhism; if not, you can plod along and figure out the concepts as you go. It is read by Richard Gear, and he does a nice job of it. If you like the DL's writing, you will want to read this. I am glad I bought it and downloaded it to my ipod to listen to on the plane flight from NYC to Melbourne, AU. The audio version is a good companion to the text.
